Instructions

1. 1
   Mise en place

   Gather the sausage, friarielli, garlic, chilli, oil, salt, and water, then set out a skillet, pot, tongs, knife, board, and thermometer. · 5 min

   What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready on the counter.

2. 2
   Clean the greens

   Trim the tough stems from the friarielli, rinse well, and leave the leaves damp so they steam gently when they hit the pan. · 10 min

   What to look for: The greens look bright, clean, and lightly wet.

3. 3
   Simmer the sausage

   Prick the sausages lightly, place them in a skillet with water, and simmer until the water is nearly gone and the links look firm. · 10 min

   What to look for: The water has almost evaporated and the sausage casings look tightened.

4. 4
   Brown the sausage

   Add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet and brown the sausages over medium heat, turning until the casings are deep golden. · 8 min

   When it is done: A probe in the center reads 71°C / 160°F for ground pork.

5. 5
   Scent the oil

   Heat the remaining oil in a wide pot, add crushed garlic and sliced chilli, and cook until the garlic is pale gold and fragrant. · 3 min

   What to look for: The garlic is pale gold, not brown, and the oil smells spicy.

6. 6
   Wilt the friarielli

   Add the wet friarielli by handfuls with salt, cover briefly, then toss until tender, glossy, and still slightly bitter. · 8 min

   What to look for: The greens have collapsed, turned deep green, and shine with oil.

7. 7
   Join pan flavors

   Nestle the browned sausages into the friarielli and cook together so the greens absorb the pork juices and the pan looks moist but not watery. · 6 min

   When it is done: The sausage remains at least 71°C / 160°F in the center.

8. 8
   Serve hot

   Serve the sausages hot with a generous bed of friarielli and spoon the garlicky cooking oil from the pan over the top. · 2 min
