    46. Italian Sausages with Broccoli Rabe and Polenta - Top

    From Bon Appetit, May 2000

    Serves 2.

    4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    4 sweet or spicy Italian sausages
    2 large garlic cloves, minced
    1 12-ounce bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed
    1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
    1/2 of 24-ounce purchased basil-garlic-seasoned polenta roll (or make your own polenta)
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages. Cover skillet and cook until sausages are brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer sausages to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add garlic to drippings in same skillet and stir 30 seconds. Add broccoli rabe and 1/2 cup broth. Cover skillet and cook until broccoli rabe is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add polenta; mash with potato masher until smooth. Mix in remaining 1/2 cup broth and cheese. Simmer until polenta is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season polenta with salt and pepper.

    Spoon polenta onto 2 plates. Top with sausages and broccoli rabe.
