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

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).
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.
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.
