Friarielli con salsiccia · Naples

Neapolitan turnip tops sautéed in olive oil with garlic and chilli, paired with a coil of pork sausage. The Campania pairing of bitter greens and rich meat, eaten with a hunk of bread or stuffed into a Neapolitan pizza.

Friarielli are the immature flowering tops of broccoli rabe (cima di rapa), grown on the volcanic hillsides around Vesuvius. Neapolitan street vendors have sold the dish since at least the 17th century; the canonical pairing with pork sausage emerged in working-class Neapolitan kitchens of the 19th century. The combination appears on every pizza menu as Pizza Friarielli e Salsiccia, and as a standalone secondo at trattorias throughout Naples. Outside Campania, the greens are nearly unobtainable; the Naples version is the canon.
