Chilli and garlic broccolini is a flavorful and healthy side dish that combines the crunchiness of broccolini with the spiciness of red hot chili peppers and the rich aroma of garlic. This recipe is easy to prepare and is perfect for adding a bit of heat and excitement to your meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the broccolini under cold water. Trim off the tough ends and cut any thick stems in half lengthwise so they're uniformly sized for even cooking.
- Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
- Thinly slice the red hot chili peppers. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds before slicing.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced garlic and chili peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccolini to the skillet. Toss to coat the broccolini in the garlic and chili oil.
- Continue to sauté the broccolini for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until it's tender-crisp. If needed, you can add a splash of water to the pan and cover it for a minute or two to help steam the broccolini until it reaches your desired tenderness.
- Season with salt to taste. Transfer the broccolini to a serving dish, making sure to scrape out any remaining garlic and chili pieces from the skillet to garnish on top.
- Serve immediately as a delicious, spicy side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.
Tips:
- Make sure to trim the ends of the broccolini to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer a milder dish, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping them.
- Use fresh garlic for a more robust flavor.
- Blanch the broccolini before sautéing to maintain its bright green color and crisp texture.
- Adjust the amount of chili pepper to suit your spice tolerance.
This simple yet delicious chilli and garlic broccolini recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
