Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Sandwich image

Yield makes two 6-inch sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound sweet Italian sausage without fennel seeds, removed from casing (about 3 sausages)
1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed, tough stems peeled
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 6-inch lengths Italian bread, split and lightly toasted

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the sausage, and cook, breaking into small crumbles with the back of a wooden spoon, until sausage is browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the broccoli rabe, peperoncino, and salt, and stir. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli rabe is tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet if necessary.
Place Italian bread on plates, and top with the sausage and broccoli rabe. Serve hot.
