Ingredients

  • 2 pcs alheira de mirandela(casings removed, crumbled)
  • 1lb kale(tough stems removed, chopped)
  • 15oz cannellini beans(cooked, drained, and rinsed)
  • 1 pc onion(medium, chopped)
  • 4 pcs garlic(cloves, minced)
  • 4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4oz chorizo(optional, diced)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 pc bay leaf
  • salt(to taste)
  • black pepper(to taste)

Instructions

Stew

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. If using chorizo, add it and cook until browned and crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
  2. Add the crumbled alheira de Mirandela to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove the alheira with a slotted spoon and set aside with the chorizo.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the bay leaf and bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 5-10 minutes. Add the cannellini beans and the cooked alheira and chorizo (if used).
  6. Continue to simmer the stew for at least 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the kale to become tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Tips

  • Ensure the casings of the alheira are completely removed before crumbling for a smoother stew texture.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use chicken or a light pork broth instead of vegetable broth.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a drizzle of quality olive oil for extra flavor.
