SAUTEED BROCCOLI RABE WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch broccoli rabe in a pot of salted boiling water until bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain well; let cool on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook garlic in oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broccoli rabe, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through. Serve with lemon wedges and red-pepper flakes.
• Remove garlic from oil, and set aside. Place pan back over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add broccoli rabe. Cook, turning occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes. Return garlic to pan. Season with salt, pepper, and red-pepper flakes, if using. Serve.

SAUTEED GARLIC BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, to flavor the oil. Carefully remove the garlic using a slotted spoon, and reserve. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan in batches; it will crowd the pan at first but will wilt quickly. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the reserved garlic.
• When the broccoli rabe has wilted, about 3 minutes, add the shallot, the sliced garlic, and the pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the shallot has softened and the broccoli rabe is cooked through but still has some bite, another 2 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
