Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Rinse the broccoli rabe thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and cut the stems into 1-inch pieces, leaving the florets whole.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.

  4. 4

    Combine and Finish

    Add the blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, tossing to coat in the garlic oil. Season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy warm as a side or over pasta.
