This stir-fried broccoli raab recipe is from Cavalcanti, the great 19th century Neapolitan gastronome. It's the traditional beginning of the Italian Christmas Eve 7-fish dinner.
Ingredients
- Ingredients: shopping list
- 2 1/4 pounds cleaned broccoli raab (wash well, trim roots, and coarsely chop leaves) shopping list
- 1/2 cup olive oil shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed shopping list
- salt shopping list
- hot pepper, if you like it shopping list
- 2 anchovies, boned and minced (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Preparation:
- 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).
- Drain them well, and squeeze them to force out the bitter juices.
- 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.
- Before serving check seasoning.

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