Roast sausage with wild greens captures the authentic flavours of Sicily. 
Join me on a culinary journey through my childhood memories, where the aroma of roasted sausage mingled with the wild scent of wild greens ('qualeḍḍu'), a brassica that grows naturally in the Sicilian countryside. 
The slightly bitter taste of the greens perfectly complements the succulence of the sausage, creating a dish that's become a classic at family Sunday lunches. 
Ideal for enjoying on autumn evenings, when the warmth of the embers and a good Sicilian wine warm the heart and soul.

👨‍🍳 Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the wild greens in plenty of salted water and drain well.

  2. 2

    In a large pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and add the crushed garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Lightly brown the garlic, then add the wild greens and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Sauté for about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Roast the sausage over the coals and serve hot alongside the wild greens.

💡 Tips and Variations

You can add some chilli for a spicy touch. If you can't find wild greens, you can substitute with turnip tops.

📦 Storage

  • • Store the cooked sausage in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • • Cooked wild greens can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • • Reheat the dish in the oven at a low temperature to maintain its crispiness.

🍷 Pairing

Pair the dish with a glass of Eloro Rosso, a robust and slightly tannic Sicilian wine.
