Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

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

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  2. 4

    Add the Broccoli Rabe

    Add the prepared broccoli rabe to the skillet. Stir well to coat with the garlic and oil mixture.

  3. 5

    Steam the Broccoli Rabe

    Pour the cup of water into the skillet and cover. Allow the broccoli rabe to steam for about 5-7 minutes, until tender.

  4. 6

    Season and Serve

    Remove the lid, season with salt and black pepper, and stir well. Cook for an additional minute to allow any excess water to evaporate. Serve hot.
