Ingredients
- 1 bunch (about 1 lb) Broccoli rabe
- 4 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Trim the tough ends of the broccoli rabe and remove any yellow or wilted leaves. Chop into 2-3 inch segments for easier handling.
Step 2
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Place a steamer basket inside the pot, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
Step 3
Add the broccoli rabe to the steamer basket. Cover with a lid and steam for about 4-5 minutes, until the greens are tender but still vibrant green.
Step 4
While the broccoli rabe steams, peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Once the broccoli rabe is steamed, transfer it to the skillet with the garlic and olive oil. Toss gently to coat the greens in the oil.
Step 7
Add salt, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes while stirring gently to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Transfer the broccoli rabe to a serving dish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm.
