Rapini is one of my favorite vegetables. It requires a quick blanch to remove bitterness. Saute with plenty of garlic and red pepper flakes. I’ve added garbanzo beans. Omit the beans and add hot linguine and Parmesan cheese for a delicious vegetarian main dish.
1. Trim an inch off the bottom of the rapini. Put a large pot of water to boil on the stove, add 1 teaspoon of salt.
2. Chop the rapini in 1-inch pieces. Submerge in cold water to soak and clean. Drain.
3. Add cleaned rapini to the boiling water. Cook about 3 minutes. While rapini is cooking, fill a large bowl with cold water and a handful of ice cubes.
4. When rapini is done, remove with a slotted spoon and put into the ice water. Drain well.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook for a couple of minutes. Add rapini and cook for about 3 minutes. Add drained garbanzo beans and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
Makes about 4 one-cup servings.
