This simple combination of flavors is a winner; sweet raisins a perfect foil for the kick from the garlic and red pepper. I always do the parboiling of the broccoli rabe ahead of time, and then when it’s time to eat it’s a matter of minutes to reheat it with the other ingredients. Healthy, quick and delicious!
1 pound broccoli rabe (baby broccoli or rapini)
1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Cut broccoli rabe into 2-inch pieces. Cook broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes; drain.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add crushed red pepper and garlic to pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli rabe and raisins to pan, cook 2 minutes. Stir in salt and black pepper. Serves 4.
