Sauteed Broccoli Rabe




Source of Recipe

Recipe Introduction


This leafy relative of broccoli has a pleasant sharpness, but it can become too bitter if it is overcooked.





List of Ingredients



• 2 bunches broccoli rabe
  
• 2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
  
• 1 T olive oil
  
• salt and pepper, to taste
  
• lemon wedges, optional
  






Instructions



1. Trim large stems from broccoli rabe, and discard. Wash and leave slightly wet. In a large saucepan with a lid, cook garlic in oil over medium-low heat until golden brown. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon; set aside.
   
2. Add broccoli rabe to the pan, raise heat to medium high, sprinkle with salt, and cover. Remove lid to stir every minute or so until rabe is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper and fresh lemon juice, if desired. Toss in reserved garlic and serve hot.

*I also like to add crushed red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
