How to Make Diabetic Italian Sausage And White Bean Stew

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped). Cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
  6. Serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
