This quick dish gains a lot of flavor from piri piri, a simple Portuguese condiment that's great on vegetables (or meats). Roast red pepper halves, cut side down, in a hot oven until blackened; or use bottled. For a heartier dish, sauté cubed potatoes before cooking the rabe; then combine all ingredients as directed.
