Ingredients

1 pound (455g) broccoli rabe, (about 4 cups)

2 Tbsp (30mL) extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, sliced

1/2 tsp (3g) salt

Heat oil in a 12-inch (30cm) skillet. Add garlic slices and sauté for 1 minute. Add broccoli rabe and toss to coat with the oil. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is a dark, vibrant green and tender.
