To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Medium Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 oz (75g) Italian sausage, casing removed and broken into smaller pieces 
  • 2 cups (100g) broccoli rabe or broccolini, cut into 1” pieces.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Preparation

  1. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, and sausage into the Anyday dish and stir to combine. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sausage is partially cooked (will be slightly pink).
  2. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to combine. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli rabe is tender and the sausage is cooked through.
  3. Squeeze the lemon juice and top with parmesan.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Add chopped toasted almonds for a delicate crunch.
  • Substitute Italian sausage with chorizo, for a smoky twist.
  • Stir into cooked pasta for a quick and flavor packed meal.

Recipe notes

  • This recipe can be made with regular broccoli, broccolini, and even ready-to-use florets.
  • Use frozen broccoli with great results. You may need to add 1-2 minutes.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
