Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound broccoli rabe, washed
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
salt to taste
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the sausage and cook for 6 minutes, breaking up the lumps. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Turn the heat to low and add the broccoli rabe and vinegar. (If the broccoli rabe is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water to the skillet.) Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes, or until the broccoli rabe is tender. Stir in the pepper, hot pepper flakes, and salt. Serve immediately.
