NEW: Roasting Broccoli RABE

Evidently, the recipe for Roasting Broccoli on the grill was a big hit with a bunch of folks.  Here is a variation on Brocolli Rabe from Richard and Diane:

Hi John, sounds like a great way to cook broccoli. 

Reminds me a little of how I do broccoli rabe which I will share with you now:

1. wash and chop up a bunch of BR;

2. toss it into a very hot, heavy pot or pan and pan roast dry until it starts to scorch;

3. push it over to the side to make a little space and add to the space a couple of cloves of chopped garlic, dried red pepper flakes to taste, and a generous dollop of extra virgin olive oil;

4. give it a minute to mellow the garlic and toss all together;

5. remove from heat -- the end.

This works for me because it cooks the BR to a state of tenderness without the parboiling that makes it watery tasting.  So the flavor has intensity, no wateriness, and not chewy like rope. 
Mmmm.
