Broccoli rabe is related to both the cabbage and turnip families. The leaves have a pungent, slightly bitter flavor. Cook broccoli rabe much the same way as you cook broccoli.
Ingredients
2 medium bunches broccoli rabe (about 1 pound), trimmed and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Place broccoli rabe in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes; drain well.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté 3 minutes, taking care not to brown. Add broccoli rabe, salt and pepper; sauté 2 minutes. Serves 8.
