Hearty Sausage Stew with Beans, Swiss Chard & Cinnamon

My collection of recipes gathered from friends, family and the internet. I like finding whole food plant based recipes - plus traditional ethnic recipes and anything a bit unusual.

1 lb/500g Italian sausages

3 cloves of garlic

2 celery stalks

2 yellow onions

3 tbsp olive oil

a generous pinch of red pepper flakes, for warmth, not prickly heat

a few sprigs of rosemary (sage or thyme also work)

2 bay leaves

1 stick of cinnamon

a small glass of Madeira, sweetish sherry, beer or white wine

2 whole tomatoes from a can

1 x 24 oz/700g can of white beans (or 2 x 14 oz/400g cans-I like to use 1 cannellini and 1 butter bean) [[Note from Rancho Gordo: We'd suggest about 4 cups cooked Rancho Gordo white beans such as Marcella, Cassoulet, or Large White Lima]]

3 cups plus 3 tbsp/750ml chicken stock

9 oz/250g Swiss chard or lacinato kale
