Broccoli Rabe with Pine Nuts and Raisins

4.5

(18)

With its slight bitterness, broccoli rabe takes well to assertive flavors. The classic Italian recipe calls for sautéing it with plenty of garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. But for Thanksgiving we've opted for something mellower, choosing sweet raisins, pine nuts, and a bit of sherry.

Tips:

•: Pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts can be substituted for the pine nuts.
• Trimming the broccoli rabe can be time-consuming if you carefully peel each stalk. If you're pressed for time, be merciless and slice off the entire bottoms of the stems and most of the tough leaves. You'll waste a bit of greenery but save an enormous amount of labor.
