00:00So basically this recipe just isn't one of my favorites. It's one of my favorite favorites!
00:04And to get started, we'll transfer a couple mild Italian sausages into a pan, set over medium-high
00:10heat, in which we've drizzled just a touch of olive oil. And before these start cooking,
00:14we're going to do something we almost never do, which is take a knife and give these the old
00:19polka-poka, which is going to allow some of the fat and juices to leak out into the pan. And
00:23then
00:23we'll go ahead and transfer a diced onion into what is now a very flavorful pan. Along with a
00:28nice big pinch of salt, we will go ahead and season this up with some freshly ground black pepper,
00:33a nice big pinch of red chili flakes, some dried oregano, and then three or four cloves of minced
00:38garlic. A good amount of olive oil is key to this dish. We will carefully transfer in four cups of
00:42chicken broth. We will transfer in two cans of beans, which I've drained but not rinsed.
00:47Stir that sausage in. Once that's cooked for about 10 minutes, we will raise our heat back up to high
00:52to bring this up to a more enthusiastic simmer, at which point we'll transfer in our greens.
00:57And that, my friends, to me, is the epitome of simple, rustic Italian comfort food.
