broccoli rabe: terrorists vegetable of choice.

why is this vegetable suddenly appearing everywhere? last week i decided to try a recipe and see what this broccoli rabe, this rapini, is all about.
well this vegetable is all about sadness, if you must know. sadness, terror and dissapointment. i literally spit it out and admitted that broccoli rabe got the best of me that night.
how did the phrase "got the best of me" come about?
did broccoli rabe look at me and say: not impressed
well screw you broccoli rabe, you hipster broccoli, you bitter green stalk of vitamins A, K and C.
i can't decide if i want to start a lifelong campaign against the lesser of the broccolis, or turn around and get the best of it.
you needs to order that in an Italian restaurant with garlic and olive oil. Deeeelish.
ReplyDeletelisten ass, i made it with garlic and olive oil (and red pepper flakes) so a few things might be happening here:
ReplyDelete1. i'm a terrible cook
2. it was a bad batch of rapini
3. there is no such thing as a good batch of rapini.
either way i'm trying again and if it's terrible again, rest assured you will be there to eat every bite as i enthusiastically watch.
