Broccoli Raab

Yum! We had some for lunch today! This raab is called Sessantina and is not bitter or strong - it tastes like sweet fresh broccoli to me!

Makes 4 servings

ingredient

  • 1 lb broccoli rabe
  • 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise, or a stalk of green garlic
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/8 -1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • sea salt to taste

  • Accompaniment: lemon wedges (we skipped the lemon wedges).

preparation

Cut off and discard 1 inch from stem ends of broccoli rabe. Chop the onions, garlic and stems of raab. Saute them about 3-4 minutes while you chop the leafy part of the raab. Add that to the pan and cook it till it wilts. Toss with salt and cover. It's ready in minutes!
