Thanks so much for this recipe. My neighbor gave me 6 large bunches! Was wondering if anyonr has made chips from the leaves, like I do with Kale? Olive oil, garlic salt & pepper.

Thanks!

I have a similar way to prepare, but don’t use the ice. I blanch (for exactly 1 and 1/2 minutes in salted, boiling water) the cut and cleaned broccoli rabe, remove from water, and immediately toss into pan that has garlic simmered in EV olive oil, a little vegetable broth, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. I cook/saute (stirring every few minutes) until the broccoli rabe is tender and still dark green – maybe 3-4 minutes. Add more salt to taste AND for extra umami flavor, a T. of nutritional yeast flakes. I like my vegetables al dente, mind you. So simple and so delicious. (If you want to cook later, I think that the submersion in ice is a great idea, then transfer to fridge for cooking at another time.)

Trying the broccoli rabe recipe tonight. Thank you very much! The recipe comes with 12 embedded advertisements! Good grief! It chopped the recipe like it was in a blender. I persevered but I think a lot of cooks would just blow off the recipe and move on to some other source.

[…] There is a caveat, however. You must put your cooked vegetables over ice to stop the cooking and keep their beautiful green color. You can eat it hot or at room temperature. I showed you how to do that when I made broccoli rabe. […]

[…] How to Cook the Best Broccoli Rabe We love broccoli rabe. Most people don’t know how to cook it. It’s a strange vegetable, more bitter than broccoli which it’s not, but is related to mustard greens. It is amazing with Italian Sausage, in Pasta and on Pizza. I like it just by itself too. […]

Hi there! I just wanted to share that I made this for dinner but added shiitake mushrooms. This was a real hit and my husband couldn’t get enough of it. I’ll be making it again very soon, thank you for sharing.

My parents loved anything that was bitter — I love broccoli raab and I cook spinach and kale with the garlic and hot pepper flakes. But doggone I haven’t used it for pizza! Thank you for the inspiration and I haven’t used it in pasta either. I’ve got to get cooking! Have a great week!
