Broccoli Rabe Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

   Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and remove any tough stems. Rinse under cold water to clean.

2. 2

   Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

3. 3

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

4. 4

   Combine and Cook

   Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet. Toss to coat in the oil and garlic mixture. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season with salt and drizzle with lemon juice before serving. Enjoy your sautéed broccoli rabe hot as a side dish.
