Broccoli Rabe Italiano
The bitterness of broccoli rabe is an unusual treat. It goes well with pasta dishes or grilled chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (455g) broccoli rabe, (about 4 cups)
- 2 Tbsp (30mL) extra virgin olive oil or flax oil (optional)
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) hot pepper flakes
Directions
Wash broccoli rabe and cut off the bottom-inch of stem if it is very tough. Heat oil in a 12-inch (30cm) skillet. Add garlic slices and sauté for 1 minute. Add broccoli rabe and toss to coat with the oil. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is a dark, vibrant green and tender. Add sea salt and hot pepper flakes and stir to combine flavors. Serve while hot.
