Ingredients




1 large bunch broccoli rabe (about 2 pounds)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup water

Preparation

1 Soak the broccoli rabe in a basin of cold water, allowing the sand to settle to the bottom; drain. Chop coarsely, discarding discolored leaves and pieces of stem. 2 Peel and mince the garlic. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat and saute the garlic for 15 seconds. 3 Add the chopped broccoli rabe and sauce for 2-3 minutes, tossing to coat all pieces with the oil. Reduce heat to low. Add the water, cover and steam for 25 minutes. Uncover, stir and serve.

About


The broccoli should be bright green yet tender. Also good with sesame oil instead of olive oil. From The Natural Gourmet by Annemarie Colbin.
