Broccoli Rabe Recipes

3 Broccoli Rabe Recipes by Nutritionist Danielle Minnebo

Broccoli rabe is a descendent of a wild herb and is related to the turnip. It has flowering heads that are similar in shape to classic broccoli and is very popular in southern Italy, where it is sauteed or steamed and used like spinach. Bring the versatile, delicate flavour into your cooking with these three dishes by Danielle Minnebo.

Broccoli Rabe with Olives, Walnuts & Parmesan Cheese

Walnuts are a fantastic source of healthy fats and nutrients that are especially beneficial for brain health, in particular DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid. Just make sure you buy walnuts that are fresh and store yours in the fridge or freezer once bought.
