Farmer's Market Sauté

This fresh and flavorful recipe is perfect for the summer.  I found a similar recipe on Pinterest and made it my own using vegetables I picked up at the farmers's market.  Feel free to change up the ingredients depending on what you have on hand.  I think it could even take you into the fall and winter months if you sub out the vegetables for whatever is in season.

Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 Bunch kale torn into pieces (spinach would also work well here)
1 medium onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, summer, or yellow squash, diced
1 Lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes cut in half
3 Hot Italian (or mild) chicken sausages, cut into half moons
1 Can Cannellini or great northern beans
salt and pepper
Olive Oil

Brown sausage in skillet in a bit of olive oil and set aside in serving dish.  In a large skillet, saute onions and garlic until soft and translucent.  Add zucchini and bell pepper and sauté until slightly softened.  Add kale, stirring frequently until slightly softened.  Add tomatoes, beans, the zest of one lemon, and the juice of the same lemon.  Add salt and pepper to taste, continuing to stir until kale is fully wilted and tomatoes are soft (should not be very long).  Transfer to serving dish and toss to combine with the sausage. I served this on its own, but for something heartier - serve over soft polenta or grain of choice.
