Sauteed Garlic Broccoli Rabe

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled
• 2 bunches broccoli rabe, chopped into medium pieces
• 1 small shallot, sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 lemon
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

1. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the olive oil and the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, to flavor the oil.
3. Carefully remove the garlic using a slotted spoon, and reserve.
4. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan in batches; it will crowd the pan at first but will wilt quickly.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Slice the reserved garlic.
7. When the broccoli rabe has wilted, about 3 minutes, add the shallot, the sliced garlic, and the pepper flakes.
8. Continue cooking until the shallot has softened and the broccoli rabe is cooked through but still has some bite, another 2 minutes.
9. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
