Broccoli Rabe – not to be confused with broccoli – is a slightly bitter green that the stalk, leaves, and tops are all edible! The bottom of the end of the stems are somewhat tough so we remove those and then the broccoli rabe gets blanched to help takeaway some of the bitterness. Sautéing it with plenty of garlic and olive oil makes the greens flavorful and tender and the perfect side. Serve it as a side or with orecchiette pasta and sausage!
