How do I cook broccoli rabe?

Answer 1

Broccoli rabe can look intimidating, because of its volume, but it will give up a lot of liquid and shrink as you cook it. Here's how I like to do it:

(1) Wash the broccoli rabe. You don't have to dry it too thoroughly.
(2) Get a large skillet (or wok), and get it up to temperature, at high heat.
(3) Sweat a clove or two of garlic in a small -- really, just a touch -- of oil (safflower or some other high heat oil)
(4) Add your still somewhat wet rabe to the skillet. Toss it around the pan for maybe a minute or two, until it starts to wilt.

That's it. If you want, you can toss it in some lemon juice, but I usually serve it as is.

Answer 2

Slow boiling water but the process does not take very long so you need to keep an eye on the rabe as it cooks up very easily.

Answer 3

Wash it off really good. Then heat up some oil in a fry pan and saute. If you like garlic add some sliced garlic to the oil before putting in the broccoli.
