Best 5 Challenge Grilled Chicken With Broccoli Rabe And Sausage Recipes

BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place broccoli rabe and salt in a large pot of boiling water. Cook 12 minutes, or until stems are tender. Drain, reserving 1 cup of liquid.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook sausage 10 minutes, or until evenly browned.
• Remove sausage from saucepan. Stir garlic into saucepan, and cook approximately 30 seconds. Place broccoli rabe and reserved cup of liquid in pan, and mix in 1/2 the lemon juice. Return sausage to pan, and allow the mixture to simmer approximately 10 minutes. Mix in remaining olive oil and lemon juice before serving.

BROCCOLI RABE SAUTE WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add garlic, anchovy fillets (if using), and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring, until anchovy breaks down and garlic is just golden, 30 to 60 seconds.
• Add chicken sausage; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add raisins and as much broccoli rabe to skillet as will fit; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing and adding remaining broccoli rabe as there is room; cook until broccoli rabe is tender, 6 to 10 minutes (less if it has been blanched).
• Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Serve.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Grill the sausages over medium coals until lightly browned and no longer pink. Slice each sausage lengthwise in half. In large skillet, saute broccoli rabe, shallots and garlic in olive oil until broccoli rabe is soft but not yellow, about 10 minutes. Toss with grilled sausage.

GRILLED BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up an ice bath nearby. Place half of the broccoli rabe into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then remove with tongs to the ice bath to stop cooking. Repeat with remaining broccoli rabe. Place broccoli rabe into a large colander to drain.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl. Toss drained broccoli rabe with oil mixture, then place onto hot grate.
• Grill, turning occasionally, until thick stems have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove thinner leafy pieces as they become done to prevent burning. Remove to a serving platter.

ORECCHIETTE WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SPICY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil with the salt. Add the broccoli rabe and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Return the same pot of water to a boil, add the orecchiette and cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly undercooked. Drain, reserving the cooking water.
• Split the sausages lengthwise down the middle and remove from their casings.
• Heat the olive oil in a high-rimmed skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage meat, breaking it up as finely as possible. Add the broccoli and continue cooking and stirring until the broccoli breaks down to a saucelike texture.
• Add the chicken stock and orecchiette. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce, being careful it doesn't stick. You may have to keep adding a little pasta water, additional stock or tap water until the pasta is soft yet chewy (al dente), making sure not to over-cook it.
• Finish the pasta by folding in the cheese, a few squeezes of lemon juice and the optional breadcrumbs.
