The Good News Like other cruciferous vegetables, broccoli rabe is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B and C. Chef Gabe Thompson turns it into a healthy, peppery pesto that’s delicious on toasted bread.

Broccoli Rabe Pesto Bruschetta

I've always been crazy for broccoli rabe, so I made this pesto for my New Year's Day party.  It was a huge hit!  Now I have a batch of this in my fridge every week, and when rabe is on special I make extra and give it to my rabe lovin' friends.  I give it ten stars!

This is an excellent aperitivo!!!!!!  I substituted walnuts for pistachios and omitted the parsley. I didn't have those ingredients in the my kitchen. I was also short on time so I used Verdurabrand Frozen Sauteed Broccoli Rabe (an excellent substitution).  I prepared the broccoli rabe according to the 12oz package suggestion. I let it cool and then pressed out some of the water/broth from the broccoli rabe.  In a food processsor, I chopped the garlic; added the walnuts and chopped them; then I added the rabe and continued to follow the recipe.  I made this in 7 minutes.   I served it with crostini-made with a baguette.  My guests were amazed that pesto could be made with broccoli rabe.  On another day, I decided to make this delicious pesto with penne pasta, it was amazing!!!!!
