Broccoli Rabe, Sausage And Cannellini Beans
- 1-2 bunches Broccoli Rabe/Rapini
- 1 pound Bulk Sweet or Hot Sausage (can be omitted for a vegetarian dish)
- 1 Can Cannellini Beans rinsed and drained
- 2 cloves garlic smashed
- 2 Anchovies
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 splash White Wine
- 1/3 cup Chicken Broth
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 handful Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Separate, wash and dry the broccoli rabe. The key to removing the bitterness from the greens is to blanch them in heavily salted boiling water for five minutes and drain. If you do not take this step they will be very bitter.
- Next, saute the garlic in olive oil in remove as soon as it starts singing and then add the anchovies and break down with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add the sausage, brown while breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Once browned add in the beans and broccoli rabe, season with salt and pepper and once everything is sizzling nicely add the crushed red pepper, stir for a second and add a splash of white wine and let it sizzle in.
- Lastly, add the chicken broth (my measurement is approximate you need some liquid but you don't want it runny). Simmer on low uncovered for about 10 minutes. Serve on a platter and sprinkle with the parmesan.
