Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 pound russet potatoes, chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked black-eyed peas, drained
  • 1/2 cup frozen sweet corn, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
  • 2 cups chopped green kale
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Bake sausage for 10 to 12 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned. Cool and chop.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and red pepper and sauté until onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.

Add herbs, salt, pepper, chicken broth and potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are almost done, 10 to 15 minutes, or until just slightly firm when pierced with a fork.

Add black-eyed peas, corn and sausage and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Thicken with arrowroot and then add chopped kale at the end, just before serving. Serve over rice.
