Preparation

Braised Broccoli Rabe

  1. Wash broccoli rabe and drain well.
  2. In a heavy bottom pot, bring water to a rapid boil.
  3. Add remaining ingredients and boil for 5 minutes.
  4. Add broccoli rabe and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Drain broccoli rabe and cool using an ice bath.
  5. Place blanched broccoli rabe in a plastic tub and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil. Cover and refrigerate up to four days.

Bone-In Pork Chops

  1. Allow the marinating porterhouse chops to sit at room temperature for 2 hours. This will allow the meat to soften and cook evenly.
  2. Place the room temperature porterhouse chops onto a pre heated grill. Cook until the interior flesh becomes pink.
  3. Arrange the grilled chops and braised broccoli rabe on a serving platter. Serve at once.
