Garlic and Ginger Broccoli Rabe

This side dish comes together extremely quickly and provides a tremendous burst of flavor. It's a perfect addition to nearly any meal - meat, seafood, or vegetarian. It's crisp-tender, providing a delicate crunch, and the ginger and garlic leaves you craving more.

I made this with some pecan tilapia from whole foods and one of my staples and favorites - perogies. The entire meal was easily prepared in just in just 30 minutes, making a wonderful, healthy weeknight meal. Let us know in the comments, though, if you have another great pairing.
