Has anyone ever tried this with Broccoli AND cauliflower I think the broccoli would cook faster, so I'm not sure if its a good idea - may have to cook separately? UPDATE! I gave this a shot - it cooked perfectly and was delicious!
Broccoli rabe has to be one of my favorite green vegetables. Despite its name, its actually more closely related to turnips than to broccoli, and it has a distinctive bitter, peppery flavor to show for it. I featured it in the Sides section of my latest cookbook, Love Lemons Every Day, but I recently realized that there are no broccoli rabe recipes on the blog. How on earth did that happen?
This sauted broccoli rabe recipe is here to set things right. Its super simple – a vibrant, nutrient-packed side dish that you can toss together on any night of the week. If youve never cooked broccoli rabe before, I hope you try it! Red pepper flakes, garlic, and a big squeeze of lemon juice brighten the tender bitter greens. Easy and elegant, its a recipe youll make time and time again.
As a result, there are two parts to my method for how to cook broccoli rabe: blanching and sauting. Sure, blanching is an extra step, but it actually saves you time in the long run, as it quickly softens the thick stems.
Finish cooking the rapini by sauting it with olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes until its completely tender. This step should be quick – after you blanch the greens, they just need 3-5 more minutes on the stove.
Most often, I enjoy sauted broccoli rabe as a side dish, brightened up with a big squeeze of lemon. It pairs nicely with all sorts of Italian dishes. Serve it next to creamy polenta, a homemade pizza, or any of these pasta recipes:
Sauted broccoli rabe is also a wonderful addition to pasta recipes! I love its slightly bitter flavor in this hearty winter pasta made with plant-based sausage, orecchiette, and Parmesan cheese.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the red pepper flakes. Add the broccoli rabe and saut, shaking the pan and gently tossing so that it cooks evenly, until tender, especially the stems, for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain off any excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve as a side dish with a squeeze of lemon.
For a non-vegetarian option, add 4 or 5 anchovy fillets, rinsed and chopped, and cook them together with the breadcrumb mixture. ou can also turn this cauliflower into a main dish, tossing in the skillet some cooked pasta, such as penne or spaghetti, along with extra olive oil and a tablespoon or two of pasta cooking water for a creamier sauce.
Trim cauliflower and cut in small florets. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to boil and cook cauliflower for about 3 minutes or until almost tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Sæt til side.
