Recipe information
Yield
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
2 lb broccoli rabe
3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt), or to taste
Accompaniment: lemon wedges
Preparation
Step 1
Cut off and discard 1 inch from stem ends of broccoli rabe. Cook broccoli rabe, uncovered, in 2 batches in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 3 minutes, transferring with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain well in a colander.
Step 2
Cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli rabe and cook, tossing to coat with oil, until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss broccoli rabe with salt.
