Contributed by: NAPSA Broccoli Rabe - Old World Taste For Modern Times by Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., (NAPSA) - Your grandmother may have called it "rapini," but you will call it "wonderful." Wonderful because it tastes great, is easy to prepare and is packed with vitamins A and C and other nutrients. Once found only at the Italian greengrocer, broccoli rabe is now a regular in many supermarkets across the nation. Broccoli Rabe (pronounced "rob") is a beautiful, dark green, leafy vegetable. It has clusters of green flower heads similar to broccoli, but much smaller. Choose bunches with small stems and tightly closed flowers, and get ready for a unique taste experience. Preparing broccoli rabe is as easy as:
I like to prepare extra and have it on hand in the fridge for other dishes like: Great Pizzas Top a pizza shell with sauteed broccoli rabe and a little fresh mozzarella cheese. World Class Sandwiches Pile sauteed broccoli rabe, sliced tomatoes, and thinly sliced ham on crusty bread. Super Salads Garnish room temperature, sauteed broccoli rabe with cherry tomatoes and shaved Parmesan cheese. Marvelous Mashed Potatoes Chop sauteed broccoli rabe into small pieces and stir them into mashed potatoes. The robust flavor of broccoli rabe adds pleasure to meals and as part of a diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables can help protect against many forms of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. There is overwhelming evidence that people who eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day reduce their risk for many chronic diseases. 5 A Day can reduce the risk of cancer by 20 percent. Take the 5 A Day Challenge. You can do it. Enjoy the great taste of fruits and vegetables as well as their impressive health benefits. Ingredients:
