This recipe makes enough stew to serve six to eight adults.
Ingredients:
1 quart chicken broth
4 medium carrots, sliced thick
3 celery stalks, sliced thick
2 medium onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups cabbage, chopped
2 cans great northern beans, or cannellini, rinsed and drained (15.5 ounces)
5 fully cooked gluten-free bratwurst links, cut into 3/4 inch slices
Directions:
First, make sure the bratwurst or sausage in question is gluten-free. Niman Ranch and Johnsonville make gluten-free brats, and a number of sausage makers sell fresh gluten-free bratwurst online.
Second, bratwurst is the best sausage to use in this dish, though you can use practically any sausage you like.
In a large saucepan, combine the broth, carrots, celery, onion and seasonings.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the cabbage; cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Stir in beans and bratwurst, and simmer 5 more minutes until heated.
