Sautéed Broccoli Rabe with Golden Raisins and Almonds is a great side dish for any meal. I often find myself (okay, every day) in the produce department staring at the piles of vegetables not knowing what to have for dinner. Here's the answer.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 15 mins
  • Yields: 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

2 bunches broccoli rabe (rapini), stems trimmed

¼ cup olive oil

2 garlic cloves, chopped

½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

⅓ cup golden raisins (sultanas)

Kosher salt

2 Tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

Directions

1Working in batches, cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 to 3 minutes per bunch. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain the cooled broccoli rabe and set aside.

2Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Add the reserved cooking water, the raisins, and cook until the broccoli rabe is heated through and the stems are tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Toss the mixture with toasted almonds, serve immediately.
