Simple Broccoli Rabe

Back to Absolutely Macro

1 bunch broccoli rabe 
olive oil 
2 cloves garlic
sweet white onion (if you can find a vidalia all the better)
red pepper flakes

Wash the greens thoroughly and cut in 2 inch pieces, separating the stems from the leafy part. Chop the onion. Sliver the garlic. 

Add some olive oil to a pre heated cast iron skillet. Saute the garlic briefly, add the onion and continue to saute till the onion browns a bit. Add the rabe stems and saute for a few minutes until they start to turn bright green. Then add the rabe leaves and saute for another couple of minutes. Dash with some red pepper flakes and serve immediately!
