Sautéed Broccoli Rabe with Almonds and Currants

Tina Rupp

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, blanch broccoli rabe in boiling water until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Transfer broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain again; set aside. (Broccoli rabe can be made up to 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.)
    
2. In a large heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper, and sauté until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli rabe, currants and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and toss to coat. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and c ook until the broccoli rabe is heated through and the stems are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with more salt to taste.
    
3. Toss mixture with the almonds. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
