Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Rapini

    Rinse the rapini under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends and cut into 2-3 inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Blanch the Rapini

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rapini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and immediately place in ice water to stop the cooking.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

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

  3. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the blanched rapini to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic oil and season with salt to taste. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.
