Dinner
Although easy to prepare this meal needs some basic
preparation of blanching for reducing the sometimes strong bitterness of the
Broccoli Rabe (also called Broccoli Raab or Rapini) greens. |
Served
Broccoli Rabe provides a wonderful soft green that has a mild taste and a refreshing natural bitterness. Combined with the caramelized sweet taste of the braise onion this dinner provides a great treat for hot summer days. |
