At the Table

Believe it or not, there are readers of A Quilter's Table who have always loved my At the Table posts the best. It's been a while since I was committed to the weekly Tuesday at the Table feature, but occasionally, why not? If it's not your thing, trust me. I'll be back with something quilty soon!

So the topic today is broccoli rabe.

Though I go through spurts of trying vegetables (or ingredients of any kind, really) that I haven't tried before, for some reason, I had never tried broccoli rabe before. I'd seen fellow participants in Rainy Day Bites Cookbook Club enjoy using it, so I really wanted to try a recipe I'd found in Colu Cooks Easy Fancy Food by Colu Henry @coluhenry, a book I was cooking through all through September. I tried many stores throughout the month, and no one had it (maybe because it's seasonal??), though one store had a sign with a product, which is why I accidently purchased and discovered what escarole is. 

But finally, I found it, so I got to try Broccoli Rabe Toast with Melted Provolone. Yum. 

Of course, this is only one way to use broccoli rabe (though a tasty one at that!), and when I see it again, I'll buy it to try something else, as I'm still curious. Holler if you use it on the regular (or escarole, for that matter), as I'm open to learning more.
