Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Stir in the sausage and garlic, for 4 or 5 minutes until the sausage is almost cooked through. Add the broccoli rabe and saute until the leaves have wilted and the stems are tender, about 3 minutes (longer for thicker stems). Add the roasted red pepper strips and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve.
