Thinly sliced garlic is simmered in olive oil until it is so tender that it nearly melts. Ingredients:
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
20 large garlic cloves, peeled, thinly sliced |
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
4 pounds broccoli rabe (rapini), thick stems trimmed |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in small saucepan over low heat. Add garlic and simmer until garlic is very tender, about 10 minutes (do not brown). Remove from heat; stir in dried crushed red pepper. (Melted garlic can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before continuing.)
2. Cook broccoli rabe in very large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Toss with melted garlic and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
