Grilled Broccoli Rabe image

Broccoli rabe, also called rapini, is known for its slightly bitter and peppery taste. Blanching it before grilling helps tone down the bitterness. Squeeze lemon wedged over top when serving, if desired. It is excellent served alongside grilled Italian sausages and thick crusty bread.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
ΒΌ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up an ice bath nearby. Place half of the broccoli rabe into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then remove with tongs to the ice bath to stop cooking. Repeat with remaining broccoli rabe. Place broccoli rabe into a large colander to drain.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil grate.
  • Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl. Toss drained broccoli rabe with oil mixture, then place onto hot grate.
  • Grill, turning occasionally, until thick stems have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove thinner leafy pieces as they become done to prevent burning. Remove to a serving platter.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The broccoli rabe was cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced.

This recipe was a bit bland for me. I added some red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.

The grilled broccoli rabe was a bit too charred for my taste, but the rest of the family loved it.

This was a quick and easy side dish to make. I used store-bought pesto instead of making my own and it still turned out great.

I've never been a fan of broccoli rabe, but this recipe changed my mind. The grilling process brought out the sweetness of the vegetable and the lemon-garlic marinade added a delicious flavor.

This grilled broccoli rabe was a hit with my family! The bitterness of the broccoli rabe was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the balsamic glaze. I will definitely be making this again.
