Now for my Italian Heritage

A little dish I like to put together once in a while, picked up some of the incredible Italian Sausage made by the Italian Butcher Shop near me. The CEO loves better than our home made. All the other ingredients lined up, sage and rosemary from our garden and some of our garden frozen Swiss Chard.

On the table, the CEO told me her Mom would be proud of me, high praise from her

That, like all your cooks looks amazing. But this one especially, cuz I love this stuff
Schultz = Italian?........Hmmmmmmm I know nothingggggggggggg :)
 
Looks great Bill. Made me hungry! I see why you both love that Sausage. I know also that the anchovies must have put that dish over the top!
 
That looks wonderful. I need to live in the middle of a circular culdesac surrounded by you, lampe and tony just to mention a few. Now that would be heaven on earth.

Wow Bill! Great looking meal. I'm definitely putting that on my to-do list! Any additional details would be greatly appreciated.

Jim not much more to add but I will try, rosemary and a lot of sage are important for the dish. I forgot to add I also add some lemon zest towards the end of the cook. Reduce everything once all put together in the pan by about half and have some good Italian bread to go with it as the broth is to die for. I add Kosher and fresh ground with the herbs, they are in the dish, but add salt to taste at the end. I needed none this time. That is about it, the Cannelli Beans add great texture and taste and I sometimes do the dried beans soaking in water the night before but stopped doing that as the canned version is just as good.
Also you can use any good greens in it. I do the Escarole a lot, baby spinach would be good also. We had an abundance of Swiss Chard this year and that is my favorite for it but Kale or anything similar would work fine.
