Method

  • 6 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE
  • In this deliciously different stew, the mildly bitter taste of the broccoli rabe is a nice complement to the starchy white beans and potatoes.
  • Serve it in large, shallow soup bowls with hardcrusted Italian bread to soak up all the luscious sauce.
  • In medium saucepan, combine potatoes with lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and cook till potatoes are fork-render, about 10 min.
  • Drain well and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in large pot, heat oil over medium heat.
  • Add in garlic and pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 min.
  • Stir in broccoli rabe, salt, pepper and 1/4 c. water.
  • Cover; cook till broccoli rabe is tender, stirring occasionally, 5 to 8 min.
  • Add in cooked potatoes, beans and broth and mix well.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  • Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, till flavors have blended and mix is heated through, about 5 min.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste and serve warm
