Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch broccoli rabe ((rapini))
2-3 garlic cloves
Pinch peperoncino (chili flakes ½ inch fresh hot pepper)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Start by washing broccoli rabe under cold running water.Remove all yellow and dull leaves.Trim off the bottoms of the stems to remove tough and fibrous part.If some of the stems are still thick don't cut them off further but split the end with a knife until the stems thins out a bit. This will ensure your greens are cooked evenly.
  • If after cleaning and trimming the stalks are still too long, cut them in half. Also chop them coarsely if you plan to use it for pasta.
  • In a large pan or a wok add a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves crushed with a flat knife and a pinch of peperoncino flakes.If you like to feel a strong garlic taste you can slice or chop garlic cloves instead of just using as whole.Let cook until garlic starts to become fragrant.
  • Add broccoli rabe and cover the pan with a lid.Saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes occasionally giving them a turn.
  • Add salt, lower the heat and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.Sauteed rapini are done when the stalks still have a crunch to them.
  • Serve as a side dish or add to pasta, polenta, farinata and sandwiches.

BAKED BROCCOLI RABE WITH PARMESAN



Baked Broccoli Rabe With Parmesan image

Broccoli rabe usually doesn't make it past a sauté pan with garlic and olive oil, nor does it need to. But the extra step of baking it in the oven with a shower of grated Parmesan on top - a suggestion from the chef John Schenk that was written up in a 1997 Minimalist column - is one to try. Blanch the broccoli rabe until it's bright green and nearly tender, then cook it in a pan with golden toasted garlic. From there, put it in a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese, and bake until it the cheese melts, which Parmesan does unevenly - but in a good way. This is a recipe that can easily be started, stopped and picked back up later, either after the blanching or after the sautéing. It can also be served at room temperature, so despite the three-step cooking process, it's pretty flexible.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 bunches broccoli rabe, chopped into medium pieces
1 small shallot, sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper

  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, to flavor the oil.

Slice the reserved garlic.
  • When the broccoli rabe has wilted, about 3 minutes, add the shallot, the sliced garlic, and the pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the shallot has softened and the broccoli rabe is cooked through but still has some bite, another 2 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.

SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE



Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic and Chile image

This speedy, two-step recipe yields broccoli - or practically any vegetable - that is perfectly browned and cooked all the way through. After florets and thinly sliced stems are seared, add a little water and cover so the broccoli steams in its own juices until fork-tender. Not only does this bring out the vegetable's inherent sweetness, but it softens whatever flavorings you add without burning them. This recipe embraces the prickly heat of chile and garlic, but you could also use ground spices, thyme or rosemary, ginger or scallions, capers or olives. Swap the broccoli for sliced carrots or sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, broccoli rabe, or green beans, adjusting cook time and water as necessary.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound broccoli, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long florets, stems sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, sliced
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Tips:

  • Choose tender broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with bright green leaves and firm stems. Avoid any bunches that are wilted or have yellowing leaves.
  • Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly: Broccoli rabe can be gritty, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before cooking. Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water and shake it dry.
  • Remove the tough ends of the stems: The tough ends of the broccoli rabe stems can be difficult to chew. Use a sharp knife to trim them off before cooking.
  • Cook the broccoli rabe until it is tender-crisp: Broccoli rabe should be cooked until it is tender, but still slightly crunchy. Overcooked broccoli rabe will become mushy.

Conclusion:

Sautéed broccoli rabe with Parmesan and garlic is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The Parmesan cheese and garlic add a flavorful touch that makes this dish irresistible. Give it a try the next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying side dish.
