Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, add broccoli rabe and cook for just 2 minutes (this is called blanching).

Step 3

While broccoli rabe cooks in the water, add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once hot, add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds to a 1 minute, careful not to burn garlic.

Step 5

Strain the broccoli rabe from the water and add to the skillet. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat in the olive oil and garlic mixture. Cook for an additional two minutes then turn off the heat.

Step 6

Add raisins and cherries and cook for another 1-2 minutes and garnish with pine nuts before serving.
