Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Trim Broccoli Rabe

    Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the ends of the stems, removing any tough or woody parts.

  2. 2

    Prepare Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 5

    Add Broccoli Rabe

    Add the washed and trimmed broccoli rabe to the skillet. Toss to coat the greens in the garlic oil.

  4. 6

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli rabe is tender and bright green.
