Steps
- 1Preheat the broiler and position the rack about 4 inches away from the heat source. Use a fork to prick holes all over the sausages, then arrange them on a baking sheet with raised edges. Broil the sausages, making sure to turn them every so often, until they are nicely browned and completely cooked, which should take approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2Begin by heating oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat. Introduce kale and garlic to the skillet along with water, then season with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook the ingredients, tossing intermittently, until the kale is softened and tender for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Next, incorporate beans and vinegar into the mixture; gently toss while cooking until the beans are thoroughly heated for about 2 minutes.
