Spicy Sausages with Cavolo Nero

Cavolo nero is an Italian variety of kale, sometimes known as black cabbage. Avoid the stalks, only use the leaves. Alternatively, you can substitute cavolo nero for kale or cabbage. Sofrito is an aromatic mix of finely chopped celery, onion and carrot and, with olive oil, forms the base of many delicious meals. It's now sold widely in supermarkets - both fresh and frozen - or you can make your own.
