Broccoli Rabe with Garlic

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

• 2 bunches broccoli rabe
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 6 large garlic cloves, sliced
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Cut off and discard the tough ends of the broccoli rabe and cut the rest of it into 2-inch pieces. Place the broccoli in a colander and rinse. Drain well.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3. Add the broccoli to the hot oil. Add the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and cook covered over medium to low heat for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the stalks are tender but still al dente. Add the reserved garlic, check the seasonings and serve hot.
