“This is one of my go-to meals after a Sunday morning visit to the farmers market,” says Sunbasket executive chef Justine Kelley. “I think of it as an Italian stir fry. It’s great on its own but sometimes I serve it alongside rice or toss it with some penne for a simple pasta dish.”

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Brown Sausage

In a medium pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until well browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving any grease and drippings in the pan.
  • While sausage cooks:
  • Halve fennel and cut into thin slices.
  • Peel onion and cut into thin slices.
  • Peel garlic and cut into thin slices.

2

Sauté onion, fennel

Add onion to the pan, season with salt and cook over medium heat until the onion is just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add fennel, garlic, and Aleppo pepper, and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • While the vegetables cook:
  • Cut radicchio into thin slices.

3

Cook kale, radicchio

Add the kale, radicchio, ¼ cup water, and to the pan and season with salt. Continue cooking over medium heat until the kale and radicchio have wilted, about 3 minutes longer. Add the sausage back to the pan and toss to combine. Stir in the sherry vinegar and keep tossing until flavors have infused, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Divide evenly between two plates and serve warm.
