Ingredients
- 1 lb red kidney beans, dried, washed, sorted
- 12 cup water
- 1 lb Spanish chorizo, (not Mexican), orother spicy smoked sausage; cut ¼-in slices
- 2 cup kale, or collard greens leaves, torn
- 2 boiling potatoes, large, peeled, and cut into 1-in chunks
- salt, to taste
- ½ tsp. dried red pepper flakes, or to taste
Instructions
- Soak beans in water in large pot overnight. Bring beans and water to a boil, add chorizo, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are barely tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent beans from sticking to bottom of pot.
