SPICY BROCCOLI RABE WITH PARMESAN AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Add the rabe to the boiling water and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain and submerge in bowl of ice water until cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and anchovies, stirring and breaking up the anchovies with a wooden spoon. Cook until garlic is fragrant and light golden in color, 1 minute.
• Add the rabe to the pan with any residual water. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the mixture starts to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and cook until rabe is crisp tender, about 3 minutes more.
• Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon onto plates or a platter and top with parmesan and pine nuts.

OLIVE OIL-BRAISED CHICKPEAS AND BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, combine the oil, garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds and chile flakes. Cook until the mixture is fragrant and the garlic is golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, then add the rabe and toss until coated in oil. Scatter the chickpeas around the rabe and stir to coat in oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Cover with a lid or foil and bake for about 40 minutes, until the chickpeas are soft and crispy in parts and the broccoli rabe is tender, but the stems are not mushy.
• Let cool slightly. Before serving, remove the rosemary and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread for mopping up the seasoned oil.

BROCCOLI-RABE PILAF WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS AND CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Fill a large kettle 2/3 full of water, add 1 tablespoon of the salt and bring to a boil. Coarsely chop the broccoli rabe and add it to the water. Bring the water just back to a boil, remove from the heat and immediately drain the rabe and plunge it into a large bowl filled with cold water.
• When completely cool, drain the rabe well and toss it with the pumpkin-seed oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet, pour in vegetable oil to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat over high heat until very hot. Working in two batches, fry the sliced shallots until they are very brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• In a small kettle, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring until it is translucent. Add the rice and toss to coat. Add the water and remaining 2 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the rabe, toss and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the rice is tender. Toss in the pumpkin seeds and serve garnished with the crispy shallots.
