Cook Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch broccoli raab (rapini), trimmed and rinsed
Preparation:
Warm olive oil in a large, deep-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper, and saute for 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli raab, water still clinging to the leaves, to the skillet. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until the broccoli raab begins to turn bright green.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes longer, until florets are tender and uniformly bright green. Enjoy!
