Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by preparing all the ingredients. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the rapini into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic and Rapini

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the chopped rapini and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the rapini is tender. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Add Fennel Giardiniera

    Fold in the fennel giardiniera to the sautéed rapini and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Slice and Add Scamorza Cheese

    While the rapini mixture is cooling slightly, slice the scamorza cheese into thin pieces. After 2 minutes, layer the cheese over the rapini and fennel mixture in the skillet.

  6. 6

    Combine All Ingredients

    Slice the cooked Italian sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the rapini and cheese. Gently toss everything together until the cheese starts to melt.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Finely chop the fresh coriander and sprinkle it over the dish before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
