Ingredients

1 large bunch broccoli rabe (about 2 pounds)

2 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup water

Preparation

Soak the broccoli rabe in a basin of cold water, allowing the sand to settle to the bottom; drain. Chop coarsely, discarding discolored leaves and pieces of stem.

Peel and mince the garlic. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat and saute the garlic for 15 seconds.

Add the chopped broccoli rabe and sauce for 2-3 minutes, tossing to coat all pieces with the oil. Reduce heat to low. Add the water, cover and steam for 25 minutes. Uncover, stir and serve.
