This wasn't the sort of vegetable my mom raised me on; she was really more of a peas and carrots kinds of mom and for most of my life I was a peas and carrots kind of daughter. • • Thinking back though, it seems I had my first bite of broccoli raab right around the time it exploded onto the restaurant scene (maybe five or six years ago?) It was love at first pleasantly pungent bite. While I couldn't get enough of it at the restaurants, I had no idea how to cook broccoli raab at home. I had attempted to make it a few times but my efforts yielded an extremely bitter mess with a texture that just wasn't there as far as restaurant-quality goes. • • I then became convinced (and highly suspicious) the restaurants were dousing my broccoli raab in globs of butter (as any chef can tell you butter does wonders for the taste of just about anything). Unwilling to eat tons of butter, I just sorta stopped eating broccoli raab...that is until I learned the Italian secret to cooking it fast, fabulous and healthy. • • A very close family friend, Joe Riti, who also happens to be an amazing authentic Italian cook, showed me the ropes on how to prepare the most fabulous broccoli raab ever just over a year ago. I've been hooked ever since and I can confidently say broccoli raab is now a staple on my weekly menu. The technique is so simple (watch the video) and the results are so spectacular I can't imagine why anyone would cook broccoli raab any other way. Best of all, once it's cooked it is incredibly versatile! • • I often make an entire lunch with a heaping serving of sautéed spicy broccoli raab nestled between two slices of sprouted whole grain bread (by the way, this is an amazingly satisfying and filling lunch). • • The recipe in the video is for an incredibly fast 8-ingredient (water doesn't count!) whole foods healthy Italian meal that's gluten-free, and dairy-free (if you want to add dairy and a 9th ingredient just add the Parmesan cheese). The whole meal takes approximately 12 minutes to prepare, start to finish. Delicious, fast-food style, healthy Italian whole foods eating doesn't get any easier than this!
