1. Step 1

   Discard any yellow leaves and hollow or coarse stems from broccoli rabe. Cut off top 5 inches of broccoli rabe and reserve remaining stems for another use.

   In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté broccoli rabe, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add water and cook, covered, 2 minutes, or until tender.

   Step 3

   Remove skillet from heat and stir in vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
