Step 1

Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli rabe and then split any thick stems by cutting from the bottom up.

Step 2

After thick stems have been trimmed and split, cut it all into 2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Place cleaned, trimmed broccoli rabe in colander and rinse very well with lots of cold water and then drain.

Step 4

In a large pan or pot (large enough to hold the broccoli rabe – we often double or triple the recipe), add olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flake and heat over medium heat.

Step 5

When you can begin to smell the garlic, add the broccoli rabe and cover (optional step: remove garlic before you add the broccoli rabe). (SEE NOTE)

Step 6

Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the stems are tender (test with a fork).

Step 7

While greens are cooking, stir with tongs or a large spoon every few minutes. You can uncover the pot once the greens are wilted.

Step 8

If you opted to remove the garlic, add it back now. Check seasonings and add more salt and drizzel with a bit more olive oil if desired.

Step 9

NOTE: This recipe skips the boiling step, which many people do to make the greens less bitter. If you want less bitter greens, boil the greens for 4 to 6 minutes before sautéing them in the garlic oil.
