Rapini or broccoli rabe is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. Experts tell us it can help boost energy, build collagen, reduce the risk of stroke and cancer, plus help reach your daily dose of both vitamins C and K! Geez, talk about a healthy green, rapini sounds perfect.
Although some claim rapini can taste a bit bitter, the use of lemon in this recipe counters it. Say goodbye to bitter and hello to delicious!

We suggest pairing it with our BEEF TENDERLOIN, our EASY ROAST CHICKEN or our VEGETARIAN STUFFED PEPPERS.
