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.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The bitterness of the broccoli rabe was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sausage.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use a milder sausage.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a bit more garlic. I love garlic and I think it would really enhance the flavor of the dish.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli rabe, but this recipe changed my mind. The bitterness of the broccoli rabe was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sausage and the tanginess of the lemon juice.
