Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli rabe 

2 teaspoons fine kosher salt 

3 tablespoons olive oil 

2 cloves garlic cloves, smashed 

additional salt and pepper, to taste 

4 ounces freshly shaved Parmesan cheese 

zest of one lemon 

¼ cup golden raisins

Directions

1Rinse the broccoli rabe and trim any tough stems.

2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt and the trimmed broccoli rabe. Return to a boil and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or up to 6 or 7 minutes if your broccoli rabe is mature.

3 Using tongs, remove the broccoli rabe and set on a baking sheet lined with a clean dish towel.

4 Over medium-high heat add the olive oil to a sauté pan with the smashed garlic cloves. Cook the garlic for about 2 minutes, then remove them. Add the broccoli rabe and sauté for just a minute or two. Season with a bit more salt and some pepper.

5 Move the broccoli rabe to a serving platter. Top with some shaved Parmesan, lemon zest and golden raisins. Serve warm.
