   In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the broccoli rabe until almost done, about 3 minutes. Drain. Add the broccoli rabe to the frying pan along with the salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

   Wine Recommendation: A crisp white wine is the best idea for this dish as it will cut through the salt of the meat and the richness of the nuts. Choose a chenin-blanc-based wine from the Loire Valley in France such as a Savennieres or Anjou. Make sure it is dry (not demi-sec).
