Sautéed Broccoli Rabe
The Oven Central
™
does a quick job of making
this broccoli rabe delicious and tender.
Makes 2 servings
3 ounces (1 link) cooked sweet Italian
sausage cut into ¼-inch slices
(optional)
2 to 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
(depending on whether or not
sausage is being used)
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1
⁄8
teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ large bunch broccoli rabe
(approximately ½ pound), rinsed and
trimmed
¼ to ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
½ cup cooked garbanzo beans or
cannellini beans
1. Fit the Cuisinart

Oven Central
™
with baking
pan if desired. Preheat to 400ºF with both
the top and lower elements on.
2. If using the sausage, put into the hot pan
and sauté until slightly crisp and warmed
through, about 5 minutes. Remove and
reserve.
3. Add oil (as much as needed depending
on whether or not oil is leftover from the
sausage. You will get about 1 teaspoon
of oil from the sausage) to the pan with
the garlic and crushed red pepper. Once
garlic begins to sizzle, stir constantly with
a wooden spoon. After about 3 minutes add
the broccoli rabe, ¼ teaspoon of salt and 1
tablespoon of water if the broccoli rabe is
dry; close oven lid.
4. Cook for about 6 to 10 minutes and then stir
in the beans and reserved sausage, if using.
Close and cook for an additional 5 minutes
before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning
if necessary (you may need additional salt if
you did not cook with the sausage).
