What is Rapini?
Also known as broccoli rabe, If you’re not familiar with it, rapini is a green cruciferous vegetable similar to cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and kale. It adds a nutrient-dense element to any dish and a deep green colour when cooked. Often described in taste as nutty and bitter, it makes for a balanced combination with savoury pancetta, garlic, and creamy mozzarella and tomato filled gnocchi.
