Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, meat removed from the casing
  3. 1 small turnip, peeled and diced
  4. 2 small carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
  5. 2 small parsnips, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
  6. 4 to 5 small Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
  7. 1 red onion, sliced
  8. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  9. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  10. 1 cup chopped kale
  11. 5 cloves garlic, sliced
  12. 3 tablespoons minced fresh sage
  13. 2/3 cup chicken stock
  14. 2/3 cup sour cream
  15. 2 to 3 dashes chipotle hot sauce
  16. 1 lemon, juiced
  17. Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break into bite-sized pieces with your spatula. Brown the sausage until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  2. Add the turnip, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, onion, salt and pepper to the skillet, then stir to combine. Cook to begin to brown the vegetables, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the kale, garlic and sage. Add the chicken stock and return the sausage to the skillet. Stir, letting the stock reduce a little, and allow the vegetables to finish cooking, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the sour cream, hot sauce and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  4. Give the skillet a final stir, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve with a few spoonfuls of the sour cream sauce on top, and with some crusty bread.

This was really tasty but the potatoes needed more time which made everything else a little mushy. Next time I’ll put them in a few minutes before the rest. The sour cream sauce is absolutely necessary but it needed some work, we decreased the lemon juice, added some roasted garlic, fennel and sumac to mimic the sausage seasoning and that did it. Will be a repeat for us
