Ingredients

2 bunches broccoli rabe

2 garlic cloves, sliced thin

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Lemon wedges (optional)

Preparation

Trim large stems from broccoli rabe and discard. Wash and leave slightly wet. In a large saucepan with a lid, cook garlic in oil over medium-low heat until golden brown.

Add broccoli rabe to pot, turn heat to medium high, sprinkle with salt, and cover. Remove lid to stir every minute or so until rabe is completely wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper and fresh lemon juice if desired.
