Served as starter. Non-vegetarian dish.

Portuguese

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1/2 lb Smoked Sausage, sliced 1/2 inch thick

1 quart Chicken broth

1 Onion, thinly sliced

3 Potatoes, sliced

1 Bunch (about 1 lb.) Kale, shredded or sliced very thinly

Freshly ground black Pepper

Salt (optional)

Heat oil in a skillet, saute the sausage just until the fat is rendered, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve. Bring broth to a boil with the onions and potatoes; simmer 10 to 15 minutes until potatoes are very tender. Mash onions and potatoes in the broth with a potato masher or slotted spoon. Add drained sausage slices and the kale. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until kale is tender. Taste for seasoning - depending on how spicy your sausage is, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve piping hot.

Serves: 4
