These are two of the most common names for this leafy, slightly bitter, nutty tasting, vitamin and mineral rich vegetable. Rapini is an unusual looking green, a series of spiky leaves with a small head of what looks like broccoli in the middle. To prepare it, wash it. Dry it well. And then sautþ it in olive oil with chili pepper and garlic. It goes well with Italian sausage in a recipe like Salsiccia Con Cima Di Rapa. |
