INGREDIENTS
Directions
-
Step I Prepare the Rabe.
-
Broccoli rape usually come bunched up and tied with a wire twist or rubber band. Holding the rape by the floret side, cut off approximately 1 1/2 inches off the stems. The base of these stems is usually very tough so discard them. Remove the wire twist/rubber band and wash under cold water to remove any dirt.
-
-
Bring four quarts of salted water to a boil and add the rape.
-
-
Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes or until the rape are tender.
-
Drain the rape and shock them in cold water to prevent further cooking.
-
Once the rape have cooled, squeeze any excess water out of them.
-
Step II Finishing the Broccoli Rabe
-
Using a large sauté pan which has not been pre-heated, add the extra virgin olive oil and sliced garlic together.
-
Place over a medium heat and simmer the garlic until golden brown.
-
Starting with cold oil and garlic together will allow for a better infusion of the garlic flavor into the oil.
-
Once the garlic is golden brown, add the red pepper flakes and the pre-cooked rape.
-
Season with kosher salt and black pepper, and sauté for approximately 8-10 minutes on a low heat.
