Steamed Rapini

7 min • 2 to 4 servings •
Andrew Sachs
Steamed broccolini served on a plate with lemon and butter on a wooden countertop near a bamboo steamer.

Rapini is one of those great vegetables that is both familiar and exotic. It resembles a young, tender broccoli and has a freshness that is hard to resist. Popular in both Italian and Chinese cooking, rapini makes a wonderful compliment to any meal.

Ready

  • 1 bunch rapini
  • Squeeze of a lemon
  • Salt, to taste
  • Butter, optional but hardly necessary

    • Set

  • Steamer, (I love my bamboo steamer)

    • Go!

  • Steam rapini for about two minutes or to your taste.
  • Remove to serving dish.
  • Salt and lemon to taste.

    • Recommendations

    Be careful not to overcook. Rapini can be eaten raw, but is best with just a touch of steam giving it an al dente quality.
