Holiday Rapini Sauté
(makes 8 1-cup servings)
This festive and colorful dish deserves a place on your holiday table. Sometimes rapini (broccoli rabe) can taste a little bitter. If your rapini is on the bitter side, drizzle it with a tablespoon or so of balsamic vinegar.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon grapeseed or canola oil
3 bunches rapini (broccoli rabe), about 3-1/4 pounds, cut into 3-inch pieces
3 large garlic cloves, minced or crushed through a press
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups peeled, diced roasted red bell pepper
3 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
Instructions
Heat a very large Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan. Add the rapini, garlic and salt and toss well. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rapini is tender.
Add the roasted pepper and toasted almonds, toss and serve.
