Photo: Broccoli Rabe with Black Bean Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli rabe, rinsed and trimmed

In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine remaining ingredients. Heat through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove broccoli rabe from microwave and drain water. Add black bean sauce and toss in a bowl. Serve warm.

First, it calls for too much sodium. Off the shelf black bean sauce contains about 4500 mg of sodium per 1/2 cup. That's a lot of salt! Second, the cooking time is way to long! I don't know how this recipe made it past the editors. If you mix one teaspoon of the sauce into the water and then microwave for about three minutes you'll end up with better results.
Or just follow Erick's method :

Big fan of Chef Lee. My family don't really like fresh vegetables so I substituted frozen chopped creamed spinach and an onion soup packet for extra flavor. Couldn't find Black Bean Sauce at the regular grocery store so substituted with half a can of Van de Kamps pork and beans with a pinch of black pepper. Now that's home cookin!
