What does RAPINI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A leafy green vegetable related to the turnip, grown for its bitter shoots and small broccoli-like florets.
Rapini is picked while its stalks are young and tender, before the plant fully flowers, and cooks prize it for a bitterness that mellows once it hits a hot pan with garlic and oil. Italian kitchens popularized the vegetable, and its name traveled into English largely through Italian-American cooking, where English speakers more often know it as broccoli rabe. Despite the resemblance in name and appearance, rapini belongs to the turnip family rather than to broccoli itself.
