Ingredients
  • Ingredients:
  • 2 1/4 pounds cleaned broccoli raab (wash well, trim roots, and coarsely chop leaves)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Salt
  • Hot pepper, if you like it
  • 2 anchovies, boned and minced (optional)

Directions
  1. Preparation:
  2. Drain the broccoli well and cook them until half done in lightly salted boiling water (3-5 minutes from when the water resumes boiling after you add them to the pot).
  3. Drain them well, and squeeze them to force out the bitter juices.
  4. Sauté the garlic in the oil, and when it is golden, add the broccoli. Cook over a brisk flame, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes. Season with the hot pepper, if you are using it, half way through the cooking, and the anchovies, if you are using them, at the end.
  5. Before serving check seasoning.

I love broccoli! I bought a bunch of them at the market yesterday. I will make this today for dinner when I get back. Sounds fantastic! Love the anchovies twist :) Big 5 from me my friend!


Sounds yummy, I love adding anchovies to my dishes, they add a nice salty flavor and have people guessing what the secret ingredient is.


You have hit two of my favorite Italian dishes today... So simple but big flavors and a comforting quality about them.. Thanks for posting...;-)~ Jim


To me the bitter juices are what attract me to the dish.
Your Broccoli Rapa Strascinati is wonderful Joymarie.
