Every time I make broccoli rabe, it turns out bitter. What’s the trick to cooking it so it’s not bitter? Any tips or secret methods you all use? 😊👩‍🍳
 
I think blanching broccoli rabe first can really help reduce the bitterness though—just boil it briefly and shock it in ice water! ❄️🥦
 
Blanch it like it’s about to hit the pool, then sauté it with garlic and chili flakes—it'll go from bitter to chef’s kiss. 🥦🔥
