  6. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  7. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  8. 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  9. 1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
  10. 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning, recipe follows
  11. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  12. 1 small garlic clove, thinly sliced
  13. 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  14. 2 cups cooked cannellini beans
  15. Salt
  16. Freshly ground black pepper
  17. 1 cup chiffonade fresh spinach
  18. 1 cup chicken broth
  19. 1 cup beef broth
  20. 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  21. 1 tablespoon butter
  22. Parsley, for garnish
  23. 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  24. 2 tablespoons salt
  25. 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  26. 1 tablespoon black pepper
  27. 1 tablespoon onion powder
  28. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  29. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  30. 1 tablespoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. For the sausage:
  2. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Grind the mixture in a meat grinder fitted with a 1/4-inch die or coarsely grind in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Form a teaspoon of the mixture into a small ball and pan-fry for a minute on each side to test the seasoning. Form the mixture into 6 (3-inch) patties, 1/4-inch thick. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, pan-fry the patties for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Alternatively, cook sausage patties on a greased grill and cook over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
  3. For the Beans:
  4. Heat the oil in a saute pan, over medium heat. Fry the garlic slices until golden, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add the shallots and beans to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the broth. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the thyme and continue to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. To serve, spoon the bean mixture in the center of each plate. Lay 2 patties against each other over the beans. Garnish with parsley.
  5. Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
