Braised Broccoli Rabe (Rapini) Sun-dried Tomatoes and Feta Cheese
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts toasted
- 1 pound rapini (broccoli rabe)
- 1 x salt to taste
- 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes oil-packaged, drained and sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar for drizzle
- Toast pine nuts in a skillet over low heat for about 5 minutes, or bake in the oven (or toaster oven) at 300F for about 20 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant.
- Set aside.
- Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to a boil, add broccoli rabe (rapini) into the boiling water and cook for about 1/2 minute to 2 minutes, until just tender and the color turns into bright green.
- Cook to taste.
- A 30 second blanch may be all you need depending on the variety of rapini.
- Drain and rinse with cold water or drop it into iced water to stop cooking, then drain and press water out of rabe as much as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine broccoli rabe, sliced sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese.
- Divide evenly onto 4 plates, drizzling balsamic vinegar on each top of the plate.
- Serve warm or chilled.
