Classic Italian Beans And Greens

1. 1

   Heat a large ceramic coated cast iron skillet (or similar large stock pot) over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up for a minute or two.

2. 2

   Take the casings off of the sausage and discard. Add sausage to pot. Using a spatula, break up the sausage and brown, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add onion and cook about 3-4 minutes more, crumbling sausage as you go. Meanwhile, rinse the chopped collard greens in a colander under cool water. It's o.k. that they remain a bit wet, it will help them steam. Add the Collard Greens to the pan and toss them to coat with the sausage and onion. After 3-4 minutes pour in about 1 cup of the broth while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden or plastic spatula to remove the browned bits (deglazing the pan). Add 2 heaping spoonfuls of tomato paste and stir to combine.

4. 4
