I love broccoli rabe. It was introduced to me by some friends of Italian ancestry who prepare it as you do in recipe number one. You are right about it being a tad on the bitter side. To counteract that bitterness, I sometimes prepare it like recipe number one, adding in some toasted pine nuts and a handful per bunch of broccoli rabe of golden raisins or even regular raisins. This is a Sicilian-style prep for this vegetable, and it all tastes good together....garlic, veggie, nuts, raisins. I wasn't convinced until I tried it. But that was the full extent of my broccoli rabe repertoire. Love your new ideas for using it and look forward to trying them. Thanks again. Thanks, Fox! I love broccoli rabe.

By just looking at photography, I am feeling hungry. I just want to add from Indian prospective. Rapini (an Italian popular food) is considered as "SAAG" in Indian community and cooked with spinach, broccoli and methi (fenugreek leaves). It is the most popular dish for Punjab, India.

So happy to have good timing for your garden. :) I find the rapini a little on the bitter side since I was expecting it to taste more like broccoli. Mixing it with sun dried tomatoes really was flavorful. Enjoy! What is it with husbands and rapini?

My husband bought what he thought was broccoli seedlings for our vegie garden a few months ago. It turned out it was rapini and we now have a whole bunch of thriving plants, but no idea how to use it :-) Some of the recipes I'd found weren't all that inspiring, but yours look great. Can't wait to try them out. Thanks so much :-) Talk about good timing! My husband bought what he thought was broccoli seedlings for our vegie garden a few months ago.
