Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the cashews
- Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the cashews.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the cashews and harissa spice blend, season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cashews to a plate to cool. Do not clean the pan.
2
Prep and cook the sausages
- Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel; prick in a few places with a fork, if desired.
In the same pan used for the cashews, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest. Do not clean the pan. While the sausages are cooking, prepare the vegetables.
3
Prep and cook the vegetables
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Scrub or peel the parsnip and trim the ends; cut the parsnip in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
- Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
- Strip the kale leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In the same pan used for the sausages, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and parsnip, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the parsnip starts to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the garlic and kale (the kale in batches if needed) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale has wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the olive tapenade.
4
Make the olive tapenade
- Coarsely chop the olives, checking for any pits.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the olives, cashews, parsley, sherry vinegar, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the kale and parsnip to individual bowls and top with the sausages. Garnish with the olive tapenade and serve.
