Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup finely chopped peeled carrot
3/4 cup well-washed thinly sliced leeks
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons medium-grind cornmeal (polenta)
5 cups
or Vegetable Stock

1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, leeks, garlic, salt, black pepper, and Aleppo pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
2
Drain off the excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Stir in the cornmeal. Add the stock, stirring, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Stir in the greens and cook for 15 minutes more, or until tender.
4
Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated Parmigiano.
