The Broccoli Rabe with Italian Sausage and potatoes recipe is an old style way of making this Italian broccoli dish. Some stores call it “Rapini”.

Ingredients:

6 Italian sausage links
2 heads of broccoli rabe, washed and bottom stems trimmed
4 cloves, garlic, mashed
3 TBLS olive oil
3 Red or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed

Directions:
Wash and trim the broccoli and steam it for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Roast the sausage in the oven on 400 for 15-20 minutes or grill them until just cooked though. Slice the sausage links into 3 pieces each.
In a large frying pan add the oil and sauté the potatoes until just tender. Add the garlic and saute for a minute or two. Add the broccoli and sausage, simmer covered for 15 minutes, turning often.
