Broccoli Raab (Rabe) or Rapini is a vegetable that is related to the turnip and

has a mustard-like flavor. It is not related to broccoli, even though it has

buds that look like broccoli. When purchasing, make sure that the leaves are

green and crisp.

In recipes you can use chard, mustard greens or even spinach as a substitute.

I added a picture to the picture files, take a look,
