Found: Helen Pignone of Madison wrote, “I had broccoli rabe and haricot verts combo at La Luna Ristorante in Branford. Can you get the recipe?” Chef and owner of La Luna, 168 North Main St., Branford, www.lalunact.com, 203-483-9995, Edgar Ortiz, was pleased to share the recipe, actually two recipes using broccoli rabe.
On the day of my visit, haricot verts was unavailable, so he prepared Broccoli di Rabe con Salsiccia. Their Sunday brunch was voted the best brunch in New Haven County by Connecticut magazine for the past five years, and the restaurant was recently featured in the Register for its use of android electronic tablets as menus.
