2. Heat the oil in a deep thick-bottomed stew pot, and fry the sausage slices until golden brown.
3. Add the garlic and rosemary, turn down the heat and stir in the onions.
4. Cover with a lid and cook gently until the onions are soft and light brown, about 15 minutes, stirring occassionally.
5. Drain the beans, then add to the pot along with the chicken stock. Season lightly.
6. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for around 20 minutes, skimming the surface as necessary.
7. Stir in the cream and kale and mix well, then simmer for 10 minutes with a lid on then 10 minutes without.
8. Adjust the seasoning and just before serving sprinkle with the chopped parsley.

This recipe is a cracker! Just made it for the second time and substituted spring greens for the curly kale. Simply delicious!
This is the most delicious sausage casserole I have ever made. One for keeping and having over and over again on nasty cold winter evenings.
