Ingredients 

Directions

  1. Chop off the bottom 1/2″ of the broccoli rabe stems. Rough chop 5 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a large deep pan, sauté the garlic for 2-3 minutes in a 1/4 cup of olive oil set to medium-low heat.
  3. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan and give it all a stir as best as possible to coat with the olive oil. Just pack it in the pan as it will reduce substantially during the next step.
  4. Add a 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover. Turn heat to medium-high and let the broccoli rabe steam for 3-4 minutes until bright green. Remove lid and season with 1 tsp of kosher salt and if desired a 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes. Mix the broccoli rabe with a wooden spoon and sauté for 2-3 more minutes. Turn off the heat and drizzle a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on top. Enjoy!
