  • Stir, then cover to steam for 5 minutes on medium-high heat.
  • As soon as you get the greens to wilt, lower the heat to just medium.
  • At this point, place the oven on LO Broil setting, and put the artichokes in while the rapini is in its final stages of cooking.
  • Continue to cook rapini without the lid, until water evaporates.

Notes

Salt is always optional, it does season this dish rather nicely.
Lemon will remove the bitterness, and it tastes so refreshing
Eat when this is warm, or refrigerate and serve cold atop bread (my fave!)
Always refrigerate leftovers.
