Warm Broccoli di Rape and Yukon Gold Potato Salad
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds broccoli di rape
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, any size
- 1/4 teaspoon or more salt
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- dried peperoncino (hot red pepper flakes)
- Rinse and trim the broccoli di rape; cut the peeled stems into 4- or 5-inch lengths.
- Peel the potatoes, and cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Put the cubes in a pot with cold water to cover by several inches, and heat to a boil.
- Cook uncovered for about 5 minutes, then lay the greens and peeled stems on top of the potatoes, cover the pot, and cook for 5 minutes more.
- Lift out the broccoli di rape and potatoes with a spider or other strainer, and lay them in a colander.
- Sprinkle about half the salt over the hot vegetables, let them drain and cool for a minute or two, then turn them into a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil all over the pieces, and toss gently.
- Sprinkle on more salt and peperoncino to taste (I use 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes, or even more, when I'm making this at home).
- Toss, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve on a big warm platter, or put portions on warm salad plates.
