Roasted Garlic Sesame Rapini

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 bunch rapini (brocoli rabe)
• 1 head roasted garlic (see method below)
• a few dashes light soy sauce
• 1/4 c water
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• salt & pepper

Method

Roasted Garlic:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Peel and discard the papery outer layers of the whole garlic bulb.

Cut 1/4 to a 1/2 inch from the top of cloves to expose the individual cloves of garlic.

Place the head of garlic in aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.

Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Let cool completely before squeezing the garlic cloves from the bulb, or removing the cloves with a fork.

Rapini:

Rinse and roughly chop the rapini. Set aside.

Over medium medium heat, add sesame seeds to a dry, medium-sized, pan and toast until fragrant. Add roasted garlic, sesame oil, and stir.

Add rapini, soy sauce, and water and cover the pan. Let steam for 1-2 minutes before seasoning with salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and serve with steak.
