Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh or smoked sausage, cut into (1/2 inch) cubes
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 1 cup apple or pear hard cider

Method
In a large pot, cook sausage, onions and sage over medium-high heat until just browned, about 10 minutes.
Add cider, quinoa, cranberries, salt and 3/4 cup water and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is just absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
Stir in kale, cover again and set aside off of the heat for 5 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork and serve.
