Twiney you need to post this up in the competition. It sounds sooo good!

I have never tried rapini but have seen quite a few recipes. Also, it's kind of hard to find here unless you go to a farmer's market or a higher end store like Whole Foods. I've always envisioned that it's on the bitter side. How does it taste?

It's a little bitter but I found things to take the "edge" off the bitterness... took it to church pot luck and it was devoured quickly.

Re: My encounter with rapini

I came in here specifically looking for this recipe. I'm planning to cook it Monday and needed a refresher look at exactly how you said to make it.
