Ingredients

Preparation and cooking time about 30 minutes

3 slices bacon, diced
4 ounces smoked turkey sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno chili
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/3 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
15-ounce can red beans or 1 1/2 cups cooked dry-packaged red beans, rinsed, drained
2 cups sliced kale, turnip or mustard greens
2 cups cooked rice, room temperature (see note)

Cook bacon in large skillet until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes; add smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeno chili and garlic; saute 2 to 3 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Stir in vinegar, sugar, oil, salt and pepper; heat to simmering. Stir in beans and cook until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in kale and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Spoon rice onto serving plates; spoon bean mixture over rice. Makes 4 servings (about 1 cup each).

Directions

Note: You can cook rice ahead of time, if you wish. Otherwise, start rice as you start preparing the dish. Use instant rice, if really pressed; regular rice will take only about 20 to 25 minutes, while you do other preparation.
