Sweet golden raisins, red pepper flakes, and toasted pine nuts balance the bitterness of broccoli rabe in a side dish adapted from Anna Watson Carl's cookbook The Yellow Table. It makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, or meatballs with tomato sauce.

- 1 1⁄2 lb. broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
