BROCCOLI RABE CROSTINI


INGREDIENTS:


DIRECTIONS:

Bring 6 quarts water to boil.

Set up an ice bath with 4 cups water and 4 cups ice in a large mixing
bowl.

Submerge broccoli rabe in boiling water and cook 3 minutes until bright
green and fork tender.
Remove from boiling water and plunge into ice bath and allow to cool
(about 5 minutes). Remove rabe from ice bath and drain well.

Remove florets and cut remaining stalks into 1/2-inch pieces.

Place in mixing bowl and add garlic, 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive
oil, red wine vinegar and
crumbled dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

In a blender, mix 2 tablespoons black pepper, fresh oregano and a half
cup extra virgin olive oil until smooth and dark green.

When ready to serve guests, toast bread on both sides over the grill.
Spoon 2 tablespoons broccoli rabe over each piece of bread and drizzle
with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper-oregano oil.

Shave a piece of crotonese over with a peeler and serve still warm.
