Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rapini

    Rinse the rapini under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the ends of the stems if they are tough.

    In a large bowl, drizzle the rapini with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss until evenly coated.

    Grill the Rapini

    Place the seasoned rapini on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.

    While the rapini is grilling, toast the chopped almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown.
