I got this recipe from my first CSA I belonged to back in MA. I used to drive 45 minutes just to get my veggies- good thing our car ran off veggie-oil! Tonight I poked through our share and using only one addition (nitrate-free chicken sausage from the co-op. I could have gotten this local but wasn’t prepared enough.) I made the most delicious meal.

I sauteed yellow onion, garlic and leeks in butter until soft and then added chopped sausage, soaked and cooked navy beans, chopped collard greens, a few brusells sprouts and homemade chicken broth from the freezer. A dash of tamari sauce (okay, that is not local) and thirty minutes on a slow simmer to let the flavors marry and I had a nutrient-dense, belly-filling, mouthwatering supper for the family; all the while supporting my local farmers!
