Let’s not let the secret out and let the hoi poloi in on this wonderful food! Throw some golden raisins on it and that gives it a nice touch too. Great side to garlicky pork loin for a nice meal and use the leftover pork on a sandwhich on a crusty roll s and OMG provolone but don’t eat that in the office! How I love broccoli di rape! One time I ordered a sandwhich at this pseudo Italian joint and they tried to pass off regular broccoli as broccoli di rape. I sent it back. Don’t do that to me!
And here’s another green that’s great - mache. 3x the iron of spinach and just lovely in a salad. Very European. Nobody knows about that one either. Let em in the dark.

[…] first, and slap them in at least a 400F oven. We also often serve it with some asparagus, kale or broccoli di rape on the side. It sounds kind of heavy I know, but it’s really pretty well-balanced and very […]

I thought that looked rather like Kai Lan (Chinese broccoli)! I never knew there’s an Italian variant.

I think rapini requires pork to be good. I made it once and it was really bitter - not sure if it was because it was a bit old, or that’s just how it is, but I like Chinese broccoli better. But even though I know it’s bitter, I can never help picking some up when I see it at the store.

Love, love, love the stuff. We like it the way you find it served in Rome– on pasta very similarly cooked as your recipe, but without the meat.

my family sits around talking about the proper way to prepare broccoli rape in depth and i’ve seen my uncle carlo interrogate waiters on the subject. this looks amazing and reminds me of home in providence, YUM!

i miss broccolli rabe, can not get that in the south. i was a bit shocked as well, i totally thought it was a common vegetable that you could get at the grocery store. when you grow up eating something regularly you get kind of jaded when you leave your hometown.
