Sauteed Broccoli Rabe with Vinegar
- 4 quarts broccoli rabe
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Red wine vinegar
- Remove the stems from the broccoli rabe.
- Shake and rinse the broccoli rabe in colander to remove the excess liquid, but the rabe doesn't have to be thoroughly dry.
- Heat a large pot over high heat until very hot.
- Add the olive oil.
- When the oil is almost smoking, add the garlic and cook for a few seconds until it is light brown.
- Add a couple of handfuls of rabe and toss with tongs, incorporating the garlic so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
- Add the remaining rabe all at once, or in batches if your pot isn't large enough to hold it all at once.
- Toss constantly so the rabe wilts evenly.
- When the rabe is cooked, season with salt and pepper.
- Continue cooking over high heat, tossing often until the excess liquid evaporates.
- Turn the rabe out into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then season with wine vinegar.
- Eat at room temperature or refrigerate up to 2 days and eat cold.
