Comments on: Braised Rapini https://www.closetcooking.com/braised-rapini/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen. Mon, 10 Jun 2019 14:43:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Anonymous https://www.closetcooking.com/braised-rapini/#comment-50113 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 23:31:58 +0000 https://www.closetcooking.com/2011/03/23/braised-rapini/#comment-50113 I cook rapini frequently when it is in season. It also takes to tomatoes very well, and can take a *mild* Indian style curry. (The strong taste masks mustard seed and milder flavors, but a little turmeric is good.) I often cook it with tomatoes and a little sweet chili, possibly with sweet onion or spring onion. And garlic. There is always garlic.

Otherwise, if you like broccoli and mustard greens, you will probably like rapini.

Also, don't be fooled by people saying it's also called "Chinese broccoli". It is *not* kai lan. They are related, but not the same species. Chinese broccoli has smooth, long leaves, not short and serrated. (It also has a mild, slightly sweet, flavor.)

I keep seeing Rapini at my Co-op, but I've thus far not attempted to cook it. I'll have to pick some up next time I see it!

I've always been a big broccoli fan, and rapini is a bit different, but I've been looking for some simple ways to enjoy it.

It sounds more like you boiled it and tossed it with oil. Like I said, I love the idea of rapini cooked perfectly tender and tossed with chili garlic oil. It looks great. I just don't really think we can call this braising …
