Broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, is a leafy green vegetable with a slightly bitter flavor. It is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in a variety of ways, but sautéing is one of the quickest and easiest methods. Sautéed broccoli rabe with garlic is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. The key to cooking broccoli rabe is to not overcook it, as this will make it tough and bitter. The broccoli rabe should be cooked just until it is tender-crisp, which will take about 5-7 minutes.

SAUTEED GARLIC BROCCOLI RABE
Steps:
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, to flavor the oil. Carefully remove the garlic using a slotted spoon, and reserve. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan in batches; it will crowd the pan at first but will wilt quickly. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the reserved garlic.
- When the broccoli rabe has wilted, about 3 minutes, add the shallot, the sliced garlic, and the pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the shallot has softened and the broccoli rabe is cooked through but still has some bite, another 2 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.

SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE
This speedy, two-step recipe yields broccoli - or practically any vegetable - that is perfectly browned and cooked all the way through. After florets and thinly sliced stems are seared, add a little water and cover so the broccoli steams in its own juices until fork-tender. Not only does this bring out the vegetable's inherent sweetness, but it softens whatever flavorings you add without burning them. This recipe embraces the prickly heat of chile and garlic, but you could also use ground spices, thyme or rosemary, ginger or scallions, capers or olives. Swap the broccoli for sliced carrots or sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, broccoli rabe, or green beans, adjusting cook time and water as necessary.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Tips:
- Choose tender broccoli rabe: Look for broccoli rabe with bright green, crisp leaves and firm stems. Avoid any bunches that are wilted or yellowing.
- Wash the broccoli rabe thoroughly: Rinse the broccoli rabe under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. You can also soak it in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to help remove any lingering dirt.
- Remove the tough ends of the stems: Use a sharp knife to trim off the tough ends of the broccoli rabe stems. This will help the broccoli rabe cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help ensure that the broccoli rabe cooks evenly and doesn't steam. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the broccoli rabe in batches.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the broccoli rabe will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the broccoli rabe in batches if necessary.
- Cook the broccoli rabe over medium-high heat: This will help the broccoli rabe cook quickly and evenly. If you cook the broccoli rabe over too low heat, it will become mushy.
- Stir the broccoli rabe frequently: This will help prevent the broccoli rabe from burning.
Conclusion:
Sautéed broccoli rabe with garlic is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give sautéed broccoli rabe with garlic a try.
