Broccoli Rabe & Chorizo

My husband is a HUGE broccoli rabe fan; however, the girls and I don't care for it. So every once in a while I just buy some for him and I'll usually saute it with a little garlic and olive oil or my Aunt Bonnie will make some extra when she's making it for her family and save some for him.

Since he also likes it mixed with sweet Italian sausage or pasta, I decided to mix it in with some sautéed Portuguese chorizo and he LOVED it!
