rabe

A surname from German.

The budding shoot of a brassica that has bolted.

Coal-roasted kale rabe, garlic and chili with pickled ginger, and caramelized ham broth. . . What more can I say?

Brassicas will bolt in early fall, too, […] While these skinny shoots topped with tiny clusters of florets—and eventually blooming flowers—might look rangy, […] I eat them raw in salad or I give them a quick sauté. While the flavor of a rabe echoes the plant, any spiciness or bitterness is generally softer.

Broccoli rabe.

Profiled by Sarah Di Gregorio in The Village Voice, Fratelli's is famous for its broccoli rabe specialties. A rabe hero glistens with a sheen of olive oil and comes on a soft roll, studded with golden-brown garlic cloves. A rabe-stuffed calzone steams and bursts. Penne and braised rabe somersault in a frying pan. A white pizza, topped with rabe florets, is placed on a wooden peel and shoved into a crowded oven.
