I only made the broccoli rabe and put it on a roasted turkey sandwich, but it was the best broccoli rabe I have ever made! A tip: I hate when veggies slide around on a sandwich, so I pureed the rabe with a little mayo and then slathered it on the bun before I toasted it.. Amazing!

The sandwich was so delicious.. Being that I am from Southern California it was difficult to find the broccoli rabe.. So I served it with Tomatoes, Jalapenos, and it was yummy...
