Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Add the Broccoli Rabe

    Drain the broccoli rabe from the ice bath and add it to the skillet. Toss to combine with the garlic and oil.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.
