1
Prepare the Broccoli Rabe
Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash it thoroughly under running water. Set aside.
2
Blanch the Broccoli Rabe
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli rabe and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. After a few minutes, drain again and set aside.
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
Combine and Season
Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
5
Finish with Lemon
Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
