Ingredients:
1 bunch of fresh broccoli rabe
7 cloves of garlic – crushed & chopped
2 - tablespoons of roasted marinated hot peppers
1 sweet onion – sliced
Juice of ¼ of a lemon
Olive oil – for drizzling
Sea Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Red pepper flakes
Deli ham
Romano cheese for grating
Loaf of Italian bread
Rinse the broccoli rabi and cut the hard stems off. Fill a large sauce pot half way with water and bring to a boil. Place the broccoli rabe in the water and simmer for about 7- 8 minutes until the broccoli is tender. Remove from the water and let drain.
Heat a large frying pan with a few drizzles of olive oil and add the garlic and the onion. Sauté this until the onion is clear and slightly caramelized. Add roasted peppers and the broccoli rabe. Add the dashes of sea salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Combine the lemon juice with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and drizzle over the broccoli rabe and toss..
Split the Italian bread down the middle and drizzle the sides with olive oil. Place on a heated griddle to get slightly toasted. Grate the cheese on both sides of the bread and the fill with the broccoli rabe on one side and the ham on the other side of the bread.
This is a delicious sandwich that will be looked forward to again and again.
Enjoy with Much Love,
Catherine
