    Ingredients

    • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 pound kielbasa or other smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 3 medium carrots, diced small
    • 2 shallots, diced small
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
    • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
    • 1/4 cup plain yogurt, for serving

    Directions

    1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add carrots and shallots to skillet and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add black beans and broth and bring mixture to a boil. Add sausage, reduce heat to a rapid simmer, and cook until carrots are tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Serve with more parsley and a dollop of yogurt.

      I made this for my family last night (4 adults) and it was a hit! great flavor, easy and quick to make. 10 minutes prep. You could easily prepare all ingredients the night before and throw it together and it would be ready in 15 minutes. Delicous. This will become one of our family's basic weekly recipes. Thanks Martha! 4 stars!

      Made this for my boyfriend's parents on a weekday - was a great casual dinner. I paired it with pilaf and used kielbasa. It came out a little more broth-y than I expected, but still really yummy.
