Ok, I know I’m not supposed to pick favorites, but this dish just might be my favorite cozy fall and winter meal of all time. I can’t even count the times I have made or brought this dish to friends and family, when a hug in a bowl is needed. Even the pickiest eaters have been known to lick the plates.
In a large stock pot over medium high heat, cook the sausage first, browning on all sides. Add carrots next and let cook for 5-7 minutes before adding bell pepper and zucchini. Season with sea salt and pepper. Add the kale during the last 2-3 minutes and cook until wilted.
Meanwhile, make the Herby Parmesan Polenta. When the polenta is ready, scoop into bowls to serve hot, topping with the sausage and veggie mixture. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese, if desired.
