Burrata With Broccoli Rabe And Grilled Garlic Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Immerse the broccoli rabe in water and let soak for 10 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium.
• Remove the broccoli rabe from the water but DO NOT shake off the excess. Toss with some olive oil, salt and crushed red pepper and lay in an even single layer on the grill. Cook until the rabe starts to lightly char and become tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If it starts to char a little too quickly, drizzle or spray a few drops of water on it.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up an ice bath nearby. Place half of the broccoli rabe into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then remove with tongs to the ice bath to stop cooking. Repeat with remaining broccoli rabe. Place broccoli rabe into a large colander to drain.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl. Toss drained broccoli rabe with oil mixture, then place onto hot grate.
• Grill, turning occasionally, until thick stems have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove thinner leafy pieces as they become done to prevent burning. Remove to a serving platter.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill until the coals are somewhat gray with ash; the flame should be low. Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, garlic, basil, and oregano in a small bowl. Brush both sides of the bread with the olive oil mixture and sprinkle 1 side of the bread with the cheeses. When the coals are ready, place the bread, cheese side up, on the grill. Cover and cook the bread until the cheese melts and the underside of the bread is toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Combine the garlic and butter in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Grill butterside down until lightly golden. Turn each slice over, sprinkle with parsley and grill an additional 20 seconds.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When oil is warm, cook garlic just until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bread crumbs and red pepper flakes and cook until bread crumbs are golden, 5 minutes or so. Remove and set aside.
• Cook broccoli rabe in boiling water until it is soft, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain well and chop. Cook pasta in same pot.
• Meanwhile, add remaining oil to skillet over medium-low heat. Add broccoli rabe and toss well; sprinkle with salt and pepper. When it is warm add garlic and bread crumbs and mix well.
• When pasta is done, drain it, reserving a little cooking water. Toss pasta in skillet with broccoli rabe mixture, moistening with a little reserved water if necessary. Adjust seasonings and serve with freshly grated Parmesan.
