I love the combination of cannellini beans, sausage and kale. When I came across the recipe by Williams Sonoma, I knew I had to try it. It is hearty and healthy (minus the bread perhaps), and I made it exactly as the recipe calls. Other than potentially changing out a regular baguette with a gluten free option, I wouldn’t change a thing!

One thing to note is that it calls for the stems to be removed from the kale, and I have found that this is really an important step. Often times, if stems are left on, it results in a bitter taste and changes the texture as well.

Yes, it takes a little extra time, but it’s worth it.

Make it on a Sunday and you’ll have yummy leftovers for a weekday lunch! Enjoy!
