Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil and blanch the broccoli rabe for 2-3 minutes, until the stems are al dente.  Drain well.
  2. In a wide skillet heat olive oil and red pepper flakes, if using, over medium-high heat.  Add garlic and cook just until the garlic begins to turn golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.  Add the drained broccoli rabe and salt, toss to coat and sauté for 2 minutes.  Serve.

Chef Tips

If you cannot find broccoli rabe, regular brocooli will work fine. The florets will only need to be blanched for 1-2 minutes, and the stems should be peeled, cut into strips and cooked with the garlic in step 2, until they begin to brown.

good quick recipe. What ever left over can be converted to a n omelet. Serve with a little soy sauce for breakfast. Use ie as base for a poached egg, some toast and butter. Now you are cooking.
