Sicilian-Style Broccoli Rabe

Ingredients

• 1 bunch broccoli rabe, ends trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 clove garlic, very thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Cut thick, lower stems off broccoli rabe and peel. Reserve florets and leaves.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes; saute until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add stems; saute until coated with oil, about 45 seconds. Pour in water; continue cooking until stems are mostly tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in florets, leaves, and salt. Cover skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

Transfer broccoli rabe and its juices to a serving bowl. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
