Ingredients:

5 cloves

Garlic (minced)

1 tsps

Vegetable Oil

Directions:

1

For the Italian pico de guyzerelli: Combine the tomatoes, basil, olives , red wine vinegar and chiles in a mixing bowl

2

Season with some salt and pepper

3

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and intensify

4

For the broccoli rabe schmear: In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil

5

Let the olive oil heat up and then add in the garlic, shallot and broccoli rabe

6

Let cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes

7

Add in the butter, red pepper flakes, and some salt and pepper

8

For the sausage patties: Get two baking sheets, line one with wax or parchment paper

9

Remove the sausages from the casing, roll them into 4 balls and place them evenly apart on the tray with the wax paper

10

Place another piece of wax paper on top of the sausages, and then press the other baking sheet down to sandwich the sausages and flatten them out; you are trying to press them so that they are roughly 1/4-inch thick

11

Heat a griddle pan over medium heat

12

Add the oil to the griddle

13

Cook the sausages until nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes flipping halfway through the cooking time

14

When you flip the sausages, add 2 slices of mozzarella to the top of each sausage patty

15

Let soften slightly, and then remove from the griddle

16

For the sandwich build: On the bottom of each ciabatta bun, schmear a generous dollop of the broccoli rabe schmear

17

Place the sausage patties with the softened mozzarella on top

18

Top each with the Italian pico de guyzerelli and another slice of bread to close the sandwiches

19

Slice the sandwiches and eat with a carafe of mediocre Chianti
