Fresh, luscious apricots that have been filled with mascarpone cheese and delicately sweetened honey balsamic sauce. To make this seem more fancier, use a piping bag for the cream.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Portuguese linguica sausage, cut into 1/2-inch think slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 4 medium white potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound kale, stemmed and cut into strips
- 1 cup cannellini beans, drained
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Saute sausage slices in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer sausage to a plate, leaving any fat in the skillet.
- Add olive oil to the skillet and heat oil over medium heat; stir in onions. Cook and stir until the onions begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return sausage to the pot and add chicken broth, potatoes, and pepper; bring to a boil. Add kale and cannellini beans, reduce heat slightly, and simmer until sausage is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.
- Portuguese linguica sausage can be substituted with chourico (Portuguese smoked pork sausage) or any garlic-paprika sausage. Linguica and chourico are smoked and are purchased cooked. When substituting, be sure that the sausage is cooked prior to use.

Reviews
This was absolutely delicious. I didn’t make any changes to the recipe and glad I didn’t. We had fresh kale from the garden and everyone enjoyed it so much they have already asked me to make it again.
I absolutely loved this recipe, I did add in some diced celery. This is a nice filling comfort food recipe. You can use spinach in place of the kale as well!
