Caveman Co-Op Stew

The kids helped me name this tasty stew. All the veg came from my produce co-op...Rawfully Organic...if you are here in Houston, you gotta check it out! This stew is definitely Paleo friendly...hence the word caveman in the title :) What I love about this stew is you can swap the veg you use to completely customize it to suite your family's tastebuds. I had a beautiful picture of this recipe, but I killed the computer all my pics are stored on...will update recipe with a picture as soon as the computer geek squad retrieves all my photos.

2 tbsp olive or coconut oil
1 small sweet onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup sliced carrots
1 small zuchini, sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced
2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
6 kale leaves, chopped
6 collard green leaves, chopped
2 handfuls spinach, chopped
6 turkey Italian sausages, casings removed and cooked until browned
4 cups chicken stock
2 tbsp curry powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper


Heat coconut oil (or olive oil) in a large dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until onions just begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Add yellow squash, zucchini, celery and carrots. Stir and continue to saute for another 10 minutes, until vegetables soften and become golden brown in spots. Add kale, collard greens, spinach, tomatoes, browned sausage and garlic and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add curry powder, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chicken stock. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 or until vegetables are tender. Taste and adjust salt & pepper if necessary. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
