Procedure
0. Thoroughly wash the broccoli rabe, separating the leaves from the tougher stems. Blanch the leaves for 2-3 minutes in salted water, then drain and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to preserve their bright green color. Coarsely chop the leaves and set aside.
1. Cut the guanciale into cubes or strips. In a hot pan, brown it without adding any fat until crispy. Drain the guanciale on paper towels and reserve the fat that drips into the pan.
2. In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and the guanciale fat. Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté over low heat. Add the rice and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Add a ladle of hot vegetable broth and begin cooking, adding the broth little by little as it's absorbed. Halfway through cooking (after about 8 minutes), add the chopped turnip greens. Stir well to distribute them evenly.
4. When the rice is al dente, turn off the heat and add the butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and a generous grating of lemon zest. Stir vigorously until the risotto is creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Divide the risotto among the plates and garnish with the crispy guanciale. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and, if desired, an additional sprinkle of lemon zest.
