Notes
- Be sure to trim off the tough ends of the stems of the broccoli rabe before chopping.
- Do not skip the blanching part of the cooking process - both the boiling and the ice bath. Blanching helps to tame the bitter taste, tenderizes the tough stems and gives it a bright green color. Sautéing the raw greens will not produce the same results.
- I like my rapini chopped, but you can also leave the stems whole if you prefer - just make sure you remove the bottom of the stems of the broccoli rabe first.
- I add lots of garlic, but use as many or as few garlic cloves as you like - if you prefer a less garlicky flavor, instead of slicing it, give the clove a smash with the side of your knife, then remove it from the pan after sautéing.
- Use a really high quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
