Broccoli Rabe Agrodolce
Fresh broccoli rabe with a little char is dressed with a sweet-sour sauce to make this bittersweet (agrodolce) dish topped with crunchy, toasted breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (regular or gluten free)
- ¼ cup olive oil
-
¼ tsp fine sea salt
- -
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe – trimmed, washed, and dried
-
½ tsp fine sea salt
-
½ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- -
- ½ cup honey
-
½ cup pomegranate molasses
-
1 Tbsp Shawarma East
-
½ tsp fine sea salt
-
½ tsp ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Toss the breadcrumbs with salt and olive until well to combine.
- Bake on a parchment lined tray in an even layer for 10 minutes or until crunchy and golden brown – stirring halfway. When ready, remove from the oven and set aside.
- Adjust the oven to the BROIL setting.
- On a broiler safe tray, lay the broccoli rabe evenly and toss to coat with the salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Keeping the broccoli rabe neatly in 1 direction helps keep them evenly seasoned and cooked.
- Broil on high for 5 minutes or until tender and lightly charred.
While the broccoli rabe is cooking, stir together the honey, pomegranate molasses, Shawarma East, salt, and black pepper well to combine.
- When the broccoli rabe is ready transfer them to a platter and drizzle on the sweet-sour sauce.
- Sprinkle on the crunchy breadcrumbs just before serving.
