I Love Broccoli Rabe

I haven't done too much cooking lately, but my husband's using one of my favorite ingredients tonight - broccoli rabe. I love the texture - the stems are just as good as the leaves and flower heads, and it has such a wonderful, slightly bitter flavor. I just love the way it looks, too - there's nothing not to like about it!

Last night, we had it as part of a bulgar with garlicy greens dish, and tonight it'll be simply sauteed, perhaps with a squeeze of lemon.

Sounds delicious! I love broccoli rabe too. I didn't at first, to be honest, but I gave myself a chance to acquire the taste and now I'm an addict!

Sauteed with a squeeze of lemon. Sometimes simplicity is best and Delicious!
