Well, this confirms it. I only like broccoli raab in soups. I have tried several times because I am trying to "eat more green leafy vegetables", but the taste is too strong for me. Or maybe I'm still not doing it right. I had hope for this recipe, but the flavor was still too overpowering. However, I do want to try this with regular broccoli and also spinach! I think tomatoes and fennel seeds are amazing together so I'm sure this would be great if I like the greens. But it's simple to make and smells great while cooking so if you like broccoli raab I hope you give this one a try.
 | Broccoli Raab, Sicilian Style Serves 4 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 5 cloves garlic, sliced 1 chopped tomato, or 12 halved cherry tomatoes 1 tsp. fennel seeds 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes 1 big bunch (16 oz.) broccoli raab Sea salt, for sprinkling |
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, tomato, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes. Stir frequently for a few minutes, until the tomatoes soften and the garlic is golden but not burned.
Blanch, then drain the broccoli raab. Add to skillet - careful, it splatters - and sprinkle with sea salt.
Cover, and cook about 3 minutes, then toss again to cook evenly. Cover, and continue cooking for another minute or two.
Taste for doneness; it's ready when tender to your preference.
