BROCCOLI RABE SAUTE

For late winter months, Ayurveda encourages the usage of bitter substances to encourage lymphatic and cardiovascular circulation. This helps to prevent the blood from thickening and supports the liver.

INGREDIENTS:

1 head of Broccoli Rabe

1/2-3/4 tsp. sea salt (or salt to taste)

1/2 tsp. of black pepper

1/4 pinch of dry garlic powder

1/4 cup of olive oil

3 tbs. of water

PREPARATION:

In a medium saucepot, place oil on medium-high heat but don’t burn the oil.

Next, the stems off of the broccoli rabe and then cut the remaining leaves/stems in 1/3.

Add seasoning and stir thoroughly.

Lastly, add the water and lower the heat, then cover. Let this mixture cook for about 8-10 minutes. The greens should remain green, not dark green.

Enjoy!
