Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sicilian-Style Sautéed Broccoli Rabe.
Step 1
Start by preparing your broccoli rabe: trim off the thick lower stems and peel them, setting aside the vibrant florets and tender leaves for later.
Step 2
In a large skillet, warm up a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the sliced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes, sautéing them together until they release a delightful aroma—this should take about 45 seconds.
Step 4
Next, add the trimmed stems to the skillet, ensuring they’re well coated in the fragrant oil, and sauté for another 45 seconds.
Step 5
Now, pour in some water and let the stems cook until they’re mostly tender, which will take around 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 6
Once they’re softened, stir in the reserved florets, leaves, and a sprinkle of kosher salt.
Step 7
Cover the skillet and let everything cook together until the broccoli rabe is perfectly tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 8
When it’s ready, transfer the sautéed broccoli rabe along with its flavorful juices to a serving bowl.
Step 9
To finish, drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top for an extra touch of richness before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy this delicious dish as a vibrant side that’s sure to impress!.
