DeathbedFood Cooks Barefoot | Broccoli Rabe with Garlic

February 14, 2021 by Diane Wagner

Garlic is DeathbedFood so why not add it to broccoli?

Barefoot says that broccoli rabe is an Italian vegetable that looks a little like American broccoli but is more bitter. I couldn’t find broccoli rabe so I used broccolini or baby broccoli. With olive oil and garlic, it’s a DeathbedFood side dish.

I served it with my mom’s meatloaf (see post) and good ol’ fashioned mashed potatoes.

See the recipe below from the Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook:

2 bunches broccoli rabe
3 Tbs. olive oil
6 large garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Cut off and discard the tough ends of the broccoli rabe and cut the rest of it into 2-inch pieces. Place the broccoli in a colander and rinse. Drain well.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon, and set aside.

Add the broccoli to the hot oil. Add the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and cook covered over medium to low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the stalks are tender but still al dente. Add the reserved garlic, check the seasons, and serve hot.
