    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       11/18/2020   I loved this dish. I used pre-cooked kielbasa (grass fed, no nitrate/no nitrite), cut the beans in half (one can only) and used only one cup of chicken broth. Other than that, I made no changes. It was surprisingly good. I like sausages of all kinds; however, kielbasa is not my favorite even though I'm of Polish heritage. I picked up a package of Teton kielbasa at Costco and then wondered what I would do with it. I found this recipe and am thrilled I did. Thanks, Martha! or I should say 'Dziękuję'  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       12/10/2019   This recipe has been a regular in our home for years! My kids LOVE it! I did tweak it a little: I use 2 pkgs Klement’s Polish Sausage, sliced and halved, then browned. So they get enough protein. I double the amount of carrots. I also double the chicken broth to 4 cups. It takes longer to simmer and reduce it to a gravy, but it is SO worth it! I do not serve with yogurt, but with Jasmine Rice. Also use curly leaf parsley as it seems consistently less bitter, and less dirty. It feels special yet is easy. My 4 year old just said, “Are you cooking with those hotdogs again?” Why yes, yes I am :)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/24/2018   I was looking for something a little different than the usual chicken, and I wanted a quick, one-pot meal. This was perfect for an easy, weeknight dinner. I read all of the suggestions and changed the recipe slightly by adding a green bell pepper, a little less broth, and serving everything on rice. After browning the kielbasa, I sauteed the shallots, carrots and garlic so they got soft and fragrant. Then I added the bell pepper and finally the beans and then followed the rest of the recipe. I used real sour cream instead of yogurt. It was delicious. By the way, I love Kirby Cuban Black Beans, so I drained them, but didn't rinse them so that they retained some of their spices and used those in this recipe.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       02/07/2018   This is delicious. I have made it many times, and serve it over couscous.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       01/20/2018   Not bad I’ve been eating parsley a lot for its nutrients and are use sour cream instead of yogurt  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/12/2017   I love this recipe and make it regularly. I do a few things differently but it is basically the same recipe. I use whatever onion I have instead of shallot and I use plain greek yogurt or sour cream instead of plain yogurt. That is all! Yummy!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       08/10/2015   Good, easy and inexpensive. Adding to the weeknight rotation. Next time, I may add red pepper or cayenne. I felt it needed a little something. It is pretty liquidy, so a grain would be good, too.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/20/2015   This was really good. I know you are not supposed to hide veggies from your children, but to get any into mine I have to. I pureed the carrots and shallots and my five year old never knew they were there. You could get a lot of veggies in this!! I'll try peas too next time.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/09/2014   I make this all the time (at least every other month). The flavor is perfect, and it is a great quick weeknight meal. The only adjustment I make is to cut the carrot in half. Otherwise, you end up with a LOT of carrot in it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       04/10/2014   This had an overwhelming carrot flavor, I thought, but the rest of the family was excited about it. I used soaked and cooked black beans in place of canned, and part of an onion in place of the shallots.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       09/18/2013   This was a great, easy base recipe, but I made several substitutions and it turned out a smashing success! 1) used a red bell pepper instead of carrot, 2) a yellow onion instead of shallots, 3) added 3/4 cup of uncooked quinoa and a splash of extra broth, 4) added sun-dried tomatoes, turmeric, smoked paprika, cumin, and a dash of cinnamon. This turned out so well, next time I will double the recipe for more leftovers!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/04/2012   My husband and I have both made this once. We love it with a good quality kielbasa that's made locally. I love the simplicity of the recipe, it's a quick and inexpensive dinner for us- and it's easy enough for him to pull together when I'm getting home late. We like it paired with cauliflower rice. It's a great budget dinner!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/26/2012   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!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/23/2011   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.
