BROCCOLI RABE WITH PINE NUTS AND RAISINS

Steps:

• In extra-large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add pine nuts and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just barely golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add broccoli rabe, sherry, and golden raisins and cover pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli rabe is tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with kosher or coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.

BROCCOLI-RABE PILAF WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS AND CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Fill a large kettle 2/3 full of water, add 1 tablespoon of the salt and bring to a boil. Coarsely chop the broccoli rabe and add it to the water. Bring the water just back to a boil, remove from the heat and immediately drain the rabe and plunge it into a large bowl filled with cold water.
• When completely cool, drain the rabe well and toss it with the pumpkin-seed oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet, pour in vegetable oil to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat over high heat until very hot. Working in two batches, fry the sliced shallots until they are very brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• In a small kettle, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring until it is translucent. Add the rice and toss to coat. Add the water and remaining 2 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the rabe, toss and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the rice is tender. Toss in the pumpkin seeds and serve garnished with the crispy shallots.
