Saute Broccoli Rabe

Every dish on last night’s menu had something from the local market. It made me realize the growing season is taking off. I got to thinking…my favorite market starts this TH and the Sunday market has moved outside, we should try and have something local in every dinner. My goal for next week!

I took the leftover sauce from the tuna earlier in the week, brushed it on the salmon and placed them in the grill pan on medium high heat for 4 minutes per side.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes
With help from Rachel Ray

I tossed three sliced sweet potatoes with 1 T olive oil, salt and pepper. I put them on the Foreman Grill for 10 minutes per side.
I thought I’d put this on the blog before, but I couldn’t find it.

Saute Broccoli Rabe
Adapted from http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/sauteed-broccoli-rabe-recipe2/index.html

1 bunch broccoli rabe (rapini), stems trimmed
1 T olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 T craisins
Kosher salt
Cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the heated olive oil in the next step when the boiling is complete.Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Add the craisins, and cook until the broccoli rabe is heated through and the stems are tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt, to taste
