Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 bunches broccoli rabe, washed and trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden.
  • Add broccoli rabe and 1 cup water; season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has evaporated and broccoli rabe is tender. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with vibrant green leaves and firm stalks. Avoid any bunches that are wilted or have yellowed leaves.
  • Trim the broccoli rabe properly: Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli rabe stalks and remove any yellow or wilted leaves.
  • Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly: Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the broccoli rabe, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the broccoli rabe from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than sauté.
  • Use high heat: Sauté the broccoli rabe over high heat to quickly cook it and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Season the broccoli rabe generously: Don't be afraid to season the broccoli rabe generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the vegetable.
  • Serve the broccoli rabe immediately: Sautéed broccoli rabe is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is at its most flavorful and crisp.

Conclusion:

Sautéed broccoli rabe is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a variety of meals. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
