Broccoli Rabe with White Beans and Lemon

Equipment

  • Heavy bottomed pot
  • Small pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch broccoli rabe, washed, cut into 2 pieces
  • 1/2 cup water, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp good olive oil
  • 6 oz white cannelini beans
  • 1 pinch dried or fresh rosemary
  • salt
  • 1/4 lemon
  • few pinches chili flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy bottomed pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt, lower the heat, and let it cook just a little to bring out the aromas. Watch it so it doesn't burn.
  • Add in the broccoli rabe and water, cover, lower the heat and steam until the rabe is bright green, about 5 minutes.
  • In another pot, add the cannellini beans, a pinch of salt, about 1/4 cup water, and the rosemary to a simmer. Cover, lower the heat and cook a few minutes until warmed through.
  • In a bowl, serve the beans and rabe together, and drizzle with the lemon.
  • Sprinkle the chili flakes on top.
