Grilled Broccoli Rabe Recipes

Steps:

• Immerse the broccoli rabe in water and let soak for 10 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium.
• Remove the broccoli rabe from the water but DO NOT shake off the excess. Toss with some olive oil, salt and crushed red pepper and lay in an even single layer on the grill. Cook until the rabe starts to lightly char and become tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If it starts to char a little too quickly, drizzle or spray a few drops of water on it.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Place the broccoli rabe on a sheet of aluminum foil that is large enough to fold over and seal in the rabe. Drizzle the broccoli rabe with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and red pepper flakes. With your hands, toss gently to coat. Fold the foil over the broccoli rabe and crimp all sides to seal. Place the sealed packet on the grill and allow to steam for 8 minutes.
• Open the packet, being careful not to burn yourself with the steam that escapes. Using tongs, place the broccoli rabe directly on the grill. Cook on the first side until lightly charred in spots, about 2 minutes, then turn over and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove to a platter to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; set aside.
• Toss the broccoli rabe with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a big pinch of salt; spread out in a grill basket. Transfer to the grill along with the sausages. Cook, turning occasionally, until both are well marked and the sausages are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Meanwhile, roughly chop the broccoli rabe. Halve the sausages lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Cover and keep warm.
• Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and add to the bowl with the garlic oil. Add the broccoli rabe, sausages and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water; toss well to coat. If the pasta is too dry, add more cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Season with salt. Divide among bowls and top with the oregano and parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss broccoli rabe with olive oil, salt and red pepper flakes. Toss garlic cloves into rabe and spread on a sheet pan.
• Roast rabe for about 10 minutes. It's done when the stems are tender and the leaves are crisp at the edges.

Steps:

• Grill the sausages over medium coals until lightly browned and no longer pink. Slice each sausage lengthwise in half. In large skillet, saute broccoli rabe, shallots and garlic in olive oil until broccoli rabe is soft but not yellow, about 10 minutes. Toss with grilled sausage.
