Have you tasted Rapini? It's so good! I recently discovered this vegetable at my local Meijers. I knew it was a popular Italian vegetable, but never tried it. When I finally tasted it, I realized how very similar it is to a type of Chinese broccoli called "caitai" or "菜苔". Ever since I came to the U.S. I haven't had caitai and I missed it very much. I can't tell you how happy I was when I tasted rapini. It tastes a bit like regular broccoli, but more tender and nuttier. Once you put it in the pan it cooks rather quickly. The leaves will shrivel up in no time. I can imagine there are so many ways you can use rapini in your everyday cooking. This will definitely be used a lot more in my home from now on.
