GRILLED BROCCOLI RABE
Steps:
- Immerse the broccoli rabe in water and let soak for 10 minutes.
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- Remove the broccoli rabe from the water but DO NOT shake off the excess. Toss with some olive oil, salt and crushed red pepper and lay in an even single layer on the grill. Cook until the rabe starts to lightly char and become tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If it starts to char a little too quickly, drizzle or spray a few drops of water on it.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
GRILLED BROCCOLI RABE
Broccoli rabe, also called rapini, is known for its slightly bitter and peppery taste. Blanching it before grilling helps tone down the bitterness. Squeeze lemon wedged over top when serving, if desired. It is excellent served alongside grilled Italian sausages and thick crusty bread.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up an ice bath nearby. Place half of the broccoli rabe into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then remove with tongs to the ice bath to stop cooking. Repeat with remaining broccoli rabe. Place broccoli rabe into a large colander to drain.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil grate.
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl. Toss drained broccoli rabe with oil mixture, then place onto hot grate.
- Grill, turning occasionally, until thick stems have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove thinner leafy pieces as they become done to prevent burning. Remove to a serving platter.
