SPICY BROCCOLI RABE

Recipe
Written By Jeanine Kutil

This is a go to in my family for Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. A slightly bitter green, this is a great digestive to add to a plate full of animal fats and carbs! The spice and acid from garlic, crushed red pepper and lemon really enhance this dish. Pro tip- start your meal with a few bites of this or another bitter green to jumpstart digestion.

Broccoli rabe is great for digestive health, but is also considered one of the best greens for kidney and liver health, promoting proper detoxification.

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of organic broccoli rabe

  • 3-4 cloves of organic garlic

  • pinch of crushed red pepper

  • pinch of salt

  • juice of half a lemon

  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Start by cleaning and chopping your broccoli rabe. You want large chunks, so simply cutting it in half will do.

  • Mince your garlic and sauté in a few tablespoons of extravirgin olive oil.

  • Add your broccoli and sauté. Keep your lid on the broccoli and the heat on low to medium to promote steam.

  • Finish with red pepper, salt and lemon.

  • Plate and drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil and salt.
