Polenta with Sausage and Rapini

Polenta with Sausage and Rapini

I just tried the recipe and I will make again! I really like Polenta and there is so many variations. Altough just plain tomato pasta sauce with grated parmesan cheese is my favourite, this recipe is a good way of getting your veggies in! My mom's favorite recipe is made only with added broccoli. If the rapini is to bitter for your taste, replace with broccoli :)

Ingredients
Polenta (basic recipe found on the blog)
1 bunch rapini blanched in salted water
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 Italian sausage links hot or mild chopped

Directions
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat and add chopped Italian sausage. When sausage is almost cooked, add garlic and sauté about 30 seconds. Cut blanched rapini in half and add to sausage and garlic. Mix well.
Add 3/4 of the sausage and rapini to the polenta and mix well. Place the polenta on a serving platter and garnish with the remainder of the sausage and rapini.

Note
If you like, add dried chilli peppers into skillet after adding the blaunched rapini. Also sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
