Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

    Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and wash it under cold water. Cut it into 2-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccoli Rabe

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for about 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  4. 4

    Add Chili Flakes and Broccoli Rabe

    Add the red chili flakes to the skillet, then add the blanched broccoli rabe. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté for another 5 minutes until tender.
