For the Broccoli Rabe

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash thoroughly under running water. If the stems are thick, you can peel them slightly to make them tender.

  2. 2

    Blanching

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Remove and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic and oil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
