17 Ingredients

14 oz Package Impossible™ Savory Ground Sausage Meat From Plants
Herb Oil
1 Leek, Sliced Into Rings And Washed
1 Bay Leaf
2 1/2 cups Vegetable Stock
2-15 oz Can White Beans Such As Cannellini, Navy, Or Great Northern, Drained And Rinsed
Herby Bread Crumbs

Herb Oil

1 tbsp Fresh Thyme, Chopped
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary, Chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, Roughly Chopped
4 Cloves Garlic, Peeled
1/2 cup Olive Oil

Herby Bread Crumbs

1-6 Inch Loaf French Bread, Cubed
1/2 The Herb Oil
1 Lemon, Zested
Kosher Salt to taste
Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to taste

How to prepare

Step 1: Make the Herb Oil

In the bowl of a food processor, add the thyme, rosemary, parsley, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped, and then stream in olive oil to create an herb oil.

Step 2: Cook the Impossible Sausage

In a large pot over medium heat, crumble sausage into the pot, breaking into pieces with a heat-proof spatula or wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove cooked sausage from the pan, and set aside.

Step 3: Sweat the Aromatics

Add half of the finished herb oil to the same pot, and add the sliced leaks, cooking until soft, approximately 2 minutes, scraping up crispy bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the bay leaf, vegetable stock and white beans, and bring to a simmer. Once you reach desired consistency, salt to taste. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook while you make the bread crumbs.

Step 4: Make the Herby Bread Crumbs

Toast the bread cubes in an 450°F oven until golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes. When cool, toss with the remaining herb oil and lemon zest. Using the food processor again, grind into coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Add the cooked Impossible Sausage back to the pot of white bean stew and heat through. Divide into four large bowls, and top with herby bread crumbs and freshly cracked pepper. Enjoy!
