Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 lb broccoli rabe
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • First, wash and rinse broccoli rabe. Cut into two-inch pieces.
  • Next, add rinsed broccoli to a large frying pan with 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook on high heat for five minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel garlic cloves and cut in half. Prep lemon juice if using fresh.
  • Next, drain broccoli in a colander.
  • Then, dry pan with a paper towel. Add oil, garlic, lemon juice, crushed red pepper (if using) and cook for 2 minutes. Do not let garlic burn.
  • Next, slowly add drained broccoli and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli rabe stems are soft when poked with a fork. NOTE: be careful adding wet broccoli to the hot oil. It will splatter.
