Savory sausage cooked up with sweet potatoes and tomatoes, then combined with kale.
After seeing this recipe from Gimme Some Oven, I knew I wanted to make it. I knew I had sweet potatoes on hand, so I just had to persuade James to get some kale. Once I got all the materials, I realized I didn't actually want a soup. Looking at the materials, I thought it'd work without adding water since the tomatoes have lots of moisture - so I guess we'll call it a sweet potato, sausage, and kale dish? Can it qualify as a casserole even though it's not baked?
How do you define a casserole?

You need to put it in the oven for it to be a casserole. Adding cheese on top to brown in the oven would make it more unmistakably casserole-like. I'd like it the way you posted it though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification, Anna! We liked it the way I made it, but maybe I'll try it with cheese next time. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for kale - looks delicious! (I often turn soup recipes into stews too...) BTW I'm stopping by from Anyonita's "Tasty Tuesdays #37" - AND I'm using kale too this week! (I'm no 23)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Kale’s great, especially this time of year. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried kale, but you have inspired me. Thanks for linking up with "Try a New Recipe Tuesday." I hope you will be able to join us again this week.
ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend kale! It's tasty in all sorts of different ways. :)
