Ingredients

3 pounds fresh broccoli rabe, with leaves or broccoli

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

8 garlic cloves, halved

10 marinated anchovy fillets, roughly chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup toasted bread crumbs

Directions

Trim the broccoli rabe into long stalks, removing the bottom 2 inches and leaving the leaves attached.

Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil.

Meanwhile, place a 12- to 14-inch saute pan over medium-low heat, and add the olive oil.

Add the garlic and anchovies and cook 5 minutes, stirring often, until just golden brown and very fragrant.

While the garlic and anchovies cook, plunge the broccoli rabe into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute.

Drain the broccoli rabe well and add it to the pan with the garlic and anchovies.

Cook over low heat for 10-12 minutes, until tender but still holding its shape.

Remove from heat and season aggressively with pepper and timidly with salt.

Serve hot or at room temperature sprinkled with the bread crumbs

To wash this holiday meal down, choose a red wine, loaded with more antioxidants.

Herbaceous, with the aroma of black cherries, the Salice Salentino Taurino from the neighboring southern Italian province of Apulia will match the hen and broccoli perfectly;
