Larry loves kale, and I’m always looking for different ways to cook it. I wasn’t sure about this dish, but it was really yummy. I used spicy chicken Italian sausage. It was a nice dish for a chilly evening, and only took a half hour from start to finish. Larry really liked it.

• White Bean and Sausage Ragout with Tomatoes, Kale and Zucchini (Cooking Light, January 2005)
• Sourdough bread with Sauteed Garlic Butter (Fine Cooking #43, March 2001, p. 49)
• Roasted Cauliflower

Wine: Sapphire Hill 2001 Tom Feeny Ranch Zinfandel (Russian River Valley, California). Again, I mainly just opened this to have a glass with dinner. Yum.
