Broccoli rabe (also spelled broccoli raab) or otherwise known as rapini is a green, leafy vegetable that is know for it's bitter taste. 

They have buds that resemble broccoli, but do not form a head. You can eat the leaves, buds and stems and is mainly used in Italian and Portuguese cuisines.

Broccoli Rabe & Chorizo

My husband is a HUGE broccoli rabe fan; however, the girls and I don't care for it. So every once in a while I just buy some for him and I'll usually saute it with a little garlic and olive oil.

Since he also likes it mixed with sweet Italian sausage or pasta, I decided to mix it in with some sautéed chorizo and he LOVED it!
