Broccoli Rabe recipe

Contributor: Deepa
Recipe:
Broccoli rabe - 1 bunch
Potato - 2 small ones
Peas - half cup
Shallots/Onions - 3

Red chilli flakes, coconut gratings, turmeric and salt - to taste
One teaspoon oil and a pinch each- cumin and mustard seeds
Cut broccoli rabe into large chunks. Discard stout stems, and rinse the leaves with water. Peel potatoes and cut to small cubes. Finely chop shallots lengthwise.

In a large skillet, heat oil. Add and toast cumin and mustard seeds. When seeds start to pop, add the shallots, potatoes and peas. Saute them to tender. Sprinkle the chilli flakes, coconut, and turmeric. Then add the broccoli rabe. Cook until the leaves collapse. Sprinkle salt and mix. Serve over rice or chapati. A side dish like dal or sambar always helps to fill the protein void.
