Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 medium garlic cloves minced or pressed through garlic press (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 cup chopped Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Figs about 4 ½ ounces
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 bunch broccoli rabe about 1 pound, washed, trimmed, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons pine nuts toasted

Instructions

  • Heat oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, dried figs, and salt in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant and slightly toasted, about 1 ½ minutes.
