First let me say that I LOVE Broccoli Rabe; But this was a total waste of a beautiful head of Rabe. The juice from the lemon was way too strong for the Rabe, and continued to cook it while in the serving bowl. The juice and zest made the Rabe too bitter to eat. A coulpe of buites and then I fed it to the disposal.

By far the worst recipe I have ever made from foodtv.com. 10 Minutes of cooking turned the broccoli rabe to mush the zest of one lemon along with the juice made it to tart an sour to eat. Avoid it.

This is very very good, except I don't chop the rabe and I only cook it 7 minutes - that way the bitterness is gone but it still has some texture. I also add the zest and juice from 1/2 a lemon, not a whole. Outstanding as a bed for baked fish!
