About 1 lb broccoli rabe (also known as "rapini")
1-2 eggs
1/2 to 1 C. fresh bread crumbs
oil for frying
Steam the broccoli rabe until done, 2-5 minutes. Strain, let cool slightly, then chop into small pieces. In a bowl, mix together the broccoli rabe, eggs, and fresh breadcrumbs*. Make into patties and fry like a hamburger in a little oil. Serve as is or on a bun!

*I say fresh breadcrumbs because they're basically the only binder in this recipe. Otherwise you would just have an omelet, also very Italian, but which does not fit the recipe's description of something you can "fry like a hamburger". For the record, the original recipe omitted the instruction to make them into patties, but did stipulate that you fry it like a hamburger. Hamburgers come in patties right? Judi, please correct me if I'm misreading the original recipe.
