Рецепт Broccoli Rabe and Tempeh Suasage
A few weeks ago when I was picking up my veggies at the local farmer’s market I saw these pretty yellow flowers on the shelf. When I what they were, I was surprised to learn that they were broccoli rabe flowers. Broccoli rabe is one of my favorite vegetables, so I had to try them, and they are perfect ingredient for this month’s Recipe Redux theme – Floral Flavors. June’s challenge is for the Recipe Reduxers to come up with a recipe using edible flowers. These little yellow flowers would be perfect for what I had in mind. My first attempt of recipe was not successful. I cooked the broccoli rabe as I normally would by boiling it for a few minutes and then suateing it with oil and garlic. The stems were very tough. After a little research I found that when the flowers appear on broccoli rabe, it’s almost past its peak, which would make the stalks tough. For my second attempt, I discarded any larger looking stems and I delicately cut up the smaller stems and flowers. I did not cook the broccoli rabe and I added it at the end. Not only did the flowers look pretty, they added an interesting and less bitter flavor to the dish.
