Broccoli Rabe with Toasted Garlic

Makes four servings

1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed
1 tsp. salt
6 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 lemon cut in half

Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil with 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir in the broccoli rabe.

While the broccoli rabe is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic. Stir the garlic continuously, and toast until golden brown (about one minute).

Cook the broccoli rabe until al dente, or cooked thoroughly while maintaining a slight bit of crispness. Drain the broccoli rabe, and stir into the sauté pan with the toasted garlic. Season with the sea salt, black pepper and juice of one lemon. Serve immediately.
