Grilled Broccoli Rabe

Ingredients

• 1 bunch broccoli rabe , trimmed and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up an ice bath nearby. Place 1/2 of the broccoli rabe into boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then remove with tongs to ice bath to stop cooking. Repeat with remaining broccoli rabe. Place broccoli rabe into a large colander to drain.

2. 2

   Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil the grate.

3. 3

   Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl. Toss drained broccoli rabe with oil mixture, then place onto hot grate.

4. 4

   Grill, turning occasionally, until thick stems have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove thinner leafy pieces as they become done to prevent burning. Remove to a serving platter.
