Greens On Fire
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pinches kosher salt (or sea salt)
- 1 pinch black ground pepper
- Rinse the broccoli rabe and then trim off the bottom ends of the stalks along with any nasty looking leaves
- toss the greens with the water, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl as if you were dressing a salad and let sit for 5-10 minutes while the salt penetrates and softens them.
- While you are waiting, go and preheat the grill to medium/medium-high heat.
- Spread the greens out on the grill in one layer, cover, and cook 1-2 minutes on each side until steamed, charred (bot not completely burned, be careful!), and wilted.
- Remove to a serving dish and drizzle with a little olive oil. Additional variations include a squeeze of lemon juice and/or zest, sprinkle of parmesan cheese, some red pepper flakes, or roasted nuts (e.g., pine nuts).
