Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Thoroughly wash the broccolini under cold running water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
- Trim off the dry ends of the stems and cut any thick stalks in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
- Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add 1/4 tsp of the salt to the boiling water.
- Add the broccolini to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they turn bright green and slightly tender.
- Immediately transfer the broccolini to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the blanched and drained broccolini to the skillet.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and the black pepper over the broccolini.
- Toss the broccolini in the garlic-infused oil to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender-crisp and slightly browned in spots.
- Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed broccolini to a serving platter.
- Drizzle any remaining garlic and oil from the skillet over the broccolini.
- Serve hot as a side dish.
Tips:
- Ensure the broccolini is thoroughly washed and trimmed before cooking to remove any dirt or imperfections.
- Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. You can adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste preference.
- Cook the broccolini over medium-high heat to achieve a nice sear while keeping the vegetable tender-crisp.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.
- Finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty twist that enhances the flavors.
