Do you like broccoli rabe, also known as rapini? Many of my friends have been eating this rich green vegetable since they were little, but I have to admit, I never had it until I was an adult. Truthfully, I now love it! It is slightly bitter, but it is in the broccoli family, having tasty flowerettes of tender broccoli buds, leaves, and stems. It is very good for you and sautéed in garlic, it is delicious!
Look for this gluten free vegetable in the produce isle of your local supermarket and enjoy! Greens are full of antioxidants, iron, and chlorophyll for cleansing; broccoli rabe is an excellent source of nutrients.
It makes a wonderful side dish for any meal and is low in fat and calories.
It's fast and easy taking just 5 minutes prep; 5 minutes sautéing
Ingredients
1 bunch of broccoli Rabe, washed and chopped
3 cloves of garlic, pressed
Olive oil spray
Directions
Spray a skillet with olive oil spray. When hot, add garlic and chopped broccoli rab. Stir and cook covered until soft . Eat immediately

Yes, if you grew up in an Italian family like I have you have always eaten it. It is really good as a stuffing for bread. Thanks for sharing one of my favors on foodie friday.
