Braised Rapini

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch rapini
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp oil from a jar of sundried tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
Pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup crumbled feta
3 large sundried tomatoes, drained and chopped

DIRECTIONS

Trim off tough bottoms of rapini stalks (about 1/4 inch from base of stalks). Place rapini in a large frying pan along with 1 cup of water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high, turning rapini occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until stems are fork-tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well to get rid of extra moisture. Transfer rapini to a platter.

Wipe pan dry. Heat oils in pan on medium heat. Stir in garlic and chili flakes. Stir-fry until garlic is tender and fragrant, about 1 minute. Return rapini to pan and toss with oil mixture and salt. Remove to same platter, then scatter feta and sun-dried tomatoes on top.
