The depth of the wok allows the broccoli raab to steam and saute at the same time, but a large, deep skillet also could be used to prepare this dish. BROCCOLI RAAB WITH WHITE BEANS 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 12-ounce bunches broccoli raab, trimmed and coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 pint grape tomatoes 1 14-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish In a wok over medium-high, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the garlic and saute until it sizzles, then add the broccoli raab and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and saute 5 to 7 minutes, or until the broccoli raab is wilted. Transfer the broccoli raab to a serving plate. Add the remaining oil to the wok. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the skins brown and the tomatoes begin to split. Stir in the white beans and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Spoon the tomato-bean mixture over the broccoli raab, then garnish with Parmesan. Makes 5 servings. Recipe from the September issue of Vegetarian Times magazine
