Broccoli Rabe With Potatoes




Source of Recipe


by Grandpoohbah, from Deborah Mele


Recipe Introduction


This vegetable dish is great with grilled sausages, or a nice roasted chicken or breast of veal. If you have difficulty locating broccoli rabe, ask your grocery manager to get some for you. Broccoli or any type of green could also be substituted.

List of Ingredients




1 Bunch of Broccoli Rabe
4 Medium Potatoes
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
Salt & Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes
Grated Parmesan Cheese-Optional
Salt And Pepper

Recipe



Quarter the potatoes, and boil in salted water until they are fork tender. Clean the broccoli rabe, removing stems and yellowed leaves. Chop the rest into 2 inch pieces. About 2 minutes before removing them, add the broccoli rabe. Cook until tender. Drain well. In the same pot, heat the oil until sizzling. Add the garlic, allow to heat, then add the vegetables, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Stir, breaking up the potatoes a bit and cook a minute or two until everything is coated with the spices. Remove. This dish is great both warm and room temperature. If desired add a little grated parmesan on top.

Cooking Tip: When cleaning your vegetable, look at the stems of your broccoli rabe. If they appear young and tender, peel them using a sharp knife and cut into pieces and add to the rest of the rabe. They are full of flavor and goodness. Old, woody stems should just be discarded.
