Cooking steps

-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Bring couscous, half the stock concentrates, and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) to a boil in a small pot. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 3.
-
While couscous cooks, drain and rinse beans. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Remove and discard any thick center stems from kale. Quarter lemon.

-
Remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
-
Add beans and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
-
Stir in kale, remaining stock concentrates, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is wilted, 1-2 minutes. (For 4, add half the kale and stir until slightly wilted; add remaining kale and cook 3-4 minutes more.)

-
Reduce heat under pan with sausage-kale mixture to low. Add cooked couscous, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until butter has melted.
-
Add another squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

-
Divide sausage and white beans between plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
