Made this as written last night. Very good. Even Mr. Picky had two servings.

Nice simple dish, easy quick and great flavor. I didn't cut mine up, as I like the whole stem for the presentation. Caterer, I like that pretty presentation thing. Nice and easy. Thx!

I like this recipe, it cooks the broccoli rabe perfectly. It has been a long long time since I have eaten broccoli rabe and I had forgotten how bitter it is!! This recipe lessens the bitterness of the broccoli rabe a bit so it is a good recipe to try if you're eating broccoli rabe for the first time! I love the fleur de sel to finish!! Thanks for the recipe!

Let me start by saying I love Broccoli Rabe. This is a straightforward, simple recipe that works well with the finishing fleur de sel, it brings out the best of the broccoli rabe, garlic and lemon flavors.
