Friarielli, the tender shoots and florets of cima di rapa, blanched and canned plain, with no oil. A base to season yourself for pizza, pasta and fillings.
Friarielli are a signature vegetable of Campanian cooking, from the turnip greens family. Here they are simply blanched and preserved plain, with no oil or seasoning, which leaves the cook free to choose the recipe.
The flavour is green and slightly bitter, and the texture keeps a little bite. Drain them, then sauté them with garlic, chilli and olive oil.
They are the topping of the salsiccia e friarielli pizza. They also go with a grilled sausage, fill a panino or lift a dish of orecchiette.
