Italian Broccoli Rabe Grinder

A favorite Italian grinder growing up found only in fine traditional Italian restaurants.

Step: 1

Heat olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Stir garlic into the oil; cook and stir until softened but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the crushed red pepper and pepperoni; cook and stir to blend flavors, about 1 additional minute.

Step: 2

Stir in the broccoli rabe, coating the leaves well with oil. Cover and cook until broccoli rabe is fully wilted and soft, about 15 minutes. Season with salt.

Step: 3

Place a piece of cheese on cut side of each roll; fill with the broccoli rabe mixture. Serve warm.
