Garlicky Greens with Seitan and Soy Sausage
Tofurky sausage is a fun protein source that provides plenty of flavor and spice to a meal. I prefer it to other kinds of faux sausages because it’s made with tofu and seitan rather than textured soy protein (see notes on this product in the introduction, page 19). The bold taste of Tofurky sausage provides a perfect foil for fresh greens.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oil in a wide skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the garlic, seitan, and sausage and sauté over medium-low heat until the garlic is golden, stirring frequently,
Step 2
Meanwhile, trim the stems and midribs from the greens, rinse well, and chop. Add the greens and wine to the skillet (if using kale, add water as needed to keep the skillet moist). Cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes for the chard and 10 to 12 minutes for the kale, or until the greens are cooked to your liking. Stir occasionally.
Step 3
Add the spinach, cover, and cook briefly until wilted, then uncover and cook for another minute or so. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
Menu Suggestions
Step 4
For a supereasy way to complete the meal, serve with couscous (see Easy Ways to Dress Up Grains, page 95) or microwaved sweet potatoes. Middle Eastern Chopped Salad (page 191) synergizes nicely with this.
Step 5
Another way to round out the meal is with any simple pasta side dish (see Easy Ways to Dress Up Pasta and Noodle Side Dishes, page 121), Maple-Roasted Baby Carrots (page 205), and a platter of cherry tomatoes and sliced bell peppers.
