Description

This recipe is an adaptation of the wonderful smash of vegetable served on the sliced-pork sandwiches at Philadelphia's Tony Lukes. Liberated from the bread, the dish has a slight bitterness that makes a great foil for the richness of Broiled Duck Breasts with Orange Chipotle Sauce .

Ingredients

2 lb broccoli rabe, bottom 2 inches trimmed off
8 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Blanch broccoli rabe in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until tender, about 6 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain in a colander, pressing to extract excess water. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
  2. Cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just golden, then add broccoli rabe and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
