Time to Prepare: 15 Min
Time to Cook: 45 Min
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 cup white wine
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound linguica sausage, cut into large pieces
6 cups water
Salt
1/2 pound collard greens, stems removed and sliced very thin
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans or other white beans
Ground black pepper

Directions:

Rinse the beans out thoroughly and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and saute the onions, stirring occasionally, until they just begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the white wine and cook this down by half.

Add the bay leaves, red pepper flakes, sausage and water. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste. Cover, turn the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 30 minutes.

Uncover the pot and add the beans and collard greens. Cook for another 10 minutes. Serve with ground black pepper.
