This will ensure your greens are cooked evenly.

• In a large pan or a wok add a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves crushed with a flat knife and a pinch of peperoncino flakes.If you like to feel a strong garlic taste you can slice or chop garlic cloves instead of just using as whole.Let cook until garlic starts to become fragrant.
• Add broccoli rabe and cover the pan with a lid.Saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes occasionally giving them a turn.
• Add salt, lower the heat and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.Sauteed rapini are done when the stalks still have a crunch to them.
• Serve as a side dish or add to pasta, polenta, farinata and sandwiches.

SAUTEED BROCCOLI RABE WITH VINEGAR

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the broccoli rabe. Shake and rinse the broccoli rabe in colander to remove the excess liquid, but the rabe doesn't have to be thoroughly dry.
• Heat a large pot over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the garlic and cook for a few seconds until it is light brown. Add a couple of handfuls of rabe and toss with tongs, incorporating the garlic so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the remaining rabe all at once, or in batches if your pot isn't large enough to hold it all at once. Toss constantly so the rabe wilts evenly. When the rabe is cooked, season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over high heat, tossing often until the excess liquid evaporates.
• Turn the rabe out into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then season with wine vinegar. Eat at room temperature or refrigerate up to 2 days and eat cold.
