I found these recipes in Real Simple magazine last fall and have been dying to try them. The flavors were great and it was so simple to throw together. I had dinner on the table in about 35 minutes, great week night meal. Plus it can be cooked on the outdoor grill or grill pan. Great to feed a crowd!

In a bowl toss the broccoli rabe with 1 tbsp oil and salt and pepper. Cut lemons in half. Over medium-high heat, grill the broccoli rabe and lemon halves. Cook, turning until the broccoli rab is tender and the lemons are charred, 6-7 minutes.

I really need to try making couscous. It seems like a great side dish! Even better with pork and broccoli rabe!
