I need to get back in the kitchen and cook.

I have not been cooking much lately, my life has remained busy.  I miss having a home cooked meal some time. Plus because I work during the day, home cooked leftovers  make a good lunch the next day.  I want to try a new recipe that recently came from a friend.  John is a writer. But like so many other people he enjoys cooking too.  He enjoys making this for his friends and family.  This recipe make plenty and would be great for a potluck.  This dish is primarily a side dish, and has a little zing, but not too spicy. The following ingredients will make a large pot, but can reduced.  This a  great recipe….Don’t forget to include the wine on your shopping list!


John’s Italian Sausage and Green Beans

Ingredients:
1 package of Bob Evan’s (or other) Italian sausage
1 small onion
4 large cans of Allen’s Italian Green Beans
2 small cans of diced tomatoes (I like the ones that have the green onions and garlic)
1 small can of tomato sauce
2 cans of chicken broth
2 cups red wine
Steps:
  • In a skillet, fry the sausage until very brown
  • Caramelize the onions with the sausage
  • Drain the grease
  • In a very large pot, mix all the above ingredients, except the wine
  • Pour one cup of wine into the mixture
  • Pour the other cup into a glass and drink! 
  • Bring the mixture to a boil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cook for about an hour to reduce the liquid
  • Simmer and serve
All and any ingredients are optional (except the wine)!
