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

2 Tbs (30mL) extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, sliced

Wash broccoli rabe and cut off the bottom-inch of stem if it is very tough.

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.
