Broccoli Raab (also called Broccoli Rabe or Rapini) is a wonder, under-appreciated vegetable and here at Fail Better Farm we grow a wicked good Raab: sweet with just a touch of bitterness. Willing to try it but not sure how? Below are a few recipe suggestions. (Note that we’re liberal recipe-adapters and are happy to drop an ingredient if it’s not available at market or to substitute for another that is available. We’ve made some notes below.)
Sausage and Raab Pizza (about 1/2 way down page) from NPR – Fennel is usually available at market in the fall, we’d leave it out if you can’t find and perhaps carmalize the onions instead. We might substitute a simple chevre for the provolone. (That link also features Anchovy And Broccoli Raab Pasta and Raab Fritatta.)
Rapini with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts (also about 1/2 way down page) from Mariquita Farm, a great CSA farm in California. (Also features recipes for Rapini with Asian Flavors and Penne with Broccoli Raab, Pine Nuts, and Currants.)
Enjoy!
