Italian sausage with rapini is one of the keto friendly dishes of Italian cuisine. It’s low in carbs without gluten. Very easy and quick to prepare, it lowers your insulin and makes you feel full for all day.
Salsiccia (italian sausage) is a great match with rapini because of its fat
Ingredients | 2 serving
- 1 Sausage/Salsiccia for each person
- 400-300g fresh or frozen Rapini
- 1 clove of Garlic
- Salt and Black Pepper
- Extra virgin Olive Oil
Preparation
– Sauté the chopped garlic in extra-virgin olive oil.
– Add rapini and salt and mix them.
– Add a bit of water and cover the pan with lid.
– Cook for ⏳ 20 mins till the rapini becomes soft.
Salsiccia/Sausage
– Meanwhile in another pan: pour a bit of olive oil and place (halfway opened) sausage from the skin side.
– Pan fry till it forms a dark crust on its surface.
– To hold the sausage flat (because while it’s cooking, it tends to bend) I’ve put a weight on it.
– Turn it over and cook the other side.
– The sausage is ready in 10 minutes on medium heat.
Serve it on a bed of rapini.
Notes:
- In Italy, this duo is also the condiment for pasta. In smaller pieces.
- In vegetarian version replace the Salsiccia with grilled cheese. (usually Caciocavallo)
Buon appetito!
