Paleo Broccoli Rabe and Sausage image

Here's an Italian classic that needs no adaptation to make it paleo.There are plenty of everyday meals that are paleo and many people don't realize it. Broccoli rabe and sausage is one of them. Luckily for me it's also an Italian dish. This is a meal you will most likely find on an Italian restaurant menu. It should be made with olive oil, not butter, and you can ask to omit the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Although, darn, that stuff is good. Lemon zest brightens it and adds a subtle, yet significant flavor.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste, divided
4 (3.5 ounce) links Italian sausage, sliced

2 bunches broccoli rabe, trimmed
1 pinch lemon zest, or to taste
1 pinch ground red pepper, or to taste

½ lemon

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a skillet with a thin layer of olive oil; heat over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage slices in skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes; add garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think next time I will use less olive oil. Otherwise, the dish was very good.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I really liked this dish. The sausage and the spices helped to balance out the bitterness of the broccoli rabe. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The broccoli rabe was tender and the sausage was cooked through but still juicy. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
