Portuguese Linguica Stew
Try to find real Portuguese sausage for this, whether it's linguica or chourico. A Spanish chorizo or longaniza would be good, but not a Mexican chorizo -- the spices are very different. In a pinch you can use hot Italian sausage.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

- 1 15- ounce can cannellini beans or other white beans
- ground black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the beans out thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sauté the onions, stirring occasionally, until they just begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the white wine and cook this down by half.
- Add the collard greens, bay leaves, red pepper flakes and water. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Add salt to taste. Cover, turn the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
- Uncover the pot and add the sausage and beans. Cook for another 10 minutes. Serve with ground black pepper.

Notes
- This stew will keep in the fridge for a week. And keep in mind linguica is usually smoked, so it's already cooked. If you are using raw sausages, let them cook for 20 minutes.
