Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, divided
1 cup chopped shallots, divided
3 teaspoons grated lemon peel, divided
1 1/2 pounds broccoli crowns, cut into florets
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 pounds rapini (broccoli rabe), cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup butter with 1/2 cup shallots and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon peel in very large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté 2 minutes. Mix in broccoli and 1/4 cup water. Sprinkle with salt.

This recipe was a disaster. The vegetables were mushy and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Not bad! I thought the broccoli and rapini were a bit overcooked, but the lemon and shallots added a nice flavor.

Absolutely delicious! The lemon and shallots perfectly complemented the broccoli and rapini. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick.
