Broccoli rabe or rapini is a dark leafy green with buds that resembles a small head of broccoli. The whole plant is edible, including stems, leaves, and buds. To clean the rabe, trim off the ends of the stems and remove any greens that are wilted or damaged. Also, give it a rinse or soak, and you are good to go. The taste can be bitter, which is why you boil it for a few minutes. It starts the cooking process and removes the bitterness. The dryer you can get the rabe the crispier it will get in the oven.
This veggie good served with any meat dish, especially pork. Undoubtedly, broccoli rabe is most famous for its role in the legendary roast pork italian sandwich. Made famous in Philadelphia by Tony Luke’s. Serve it with Herb Roasted Pork Tenderloin, and you have the same flavors without taking a trip to Philly.
