Broccoli Rabe & White Beans in Vegetable Broth
The classic Italian combination of broccoli rabe, garlic and white beans is simmered in a savory vegetable broth for a nutritious meal full of fresh flavor. Broccoli rabe is related to the turnip and has deep green colored leaves with thin stalks and small buds that resemble broccoli florets. Broccoli rabe has a unique bitter taste that many find appealing, but if you want to lessen the bitterness you can quickly blanch the broccoli rabe before adding it to the skillet in step 2.
