Broccoli Raab (Rabe) or Rapini

(Broccoli Raab (Rabe) or Rapini) Broccoli Rabe is a nutritious vegetable that is related to the turnip and has a mustard-like flavor. It is not related to broccoli, even though it has buds that look like broccoli. When purchasing, make sure that the leaves are green and crisp. Rapini origins have been traced to the Mediterranean region around Italy and to China, where it remains popular in both of these nationalities cooking. We have included nutritional charts for both raw and cooked broccoli rabe. As can be seen in these charts, this is one of those vegetables that cooking releases more of the food value.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
