Instructions:
- Trim any tough ends from the broccolini and wash thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
- Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up until it shimmers.
- Add the minced garlic to the heated oil. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden brown. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccolini to the pan. Toss it gently to coat it with the garlic and oil. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
- Sauté the broccolini for about 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp. If needed, you can add a splash of water to the pan to help steam and speed up the cooking process.
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the broccolini, and toss again to combine. Adjust the amount to your heat preference.
- Once the broccolini is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat. Drizzle the chicken gravy over the sautéed broccolini, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the garlic sautéed broccolini with chicken gravy to a serving dish and serve immediately as a delicious side dish to complement any meal.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Broccolini: Opt for broccolini that is bright green and firm. Avoid any that appear wilted or have yellowing leaves for the best taste and texture.
- Prepare Ingredients in Advance: Having your garlic minced and other ingredients measured out before you start cooking can help ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the amount of red pepper or omit it entirely. Conversely, add more if you like an extra kick.
- Don’t Overcook the Broccolini: To maintain its tender-crisp texture, cook the broccolini just until it turns bright green and is tender but still has a bit of bite.
- Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the garlic sautéed broccolini with chicken gravy immediately after cooking while it's still hot.
This garlic sautéed broccolini with chicken gravy offers a wonderful blend of garlicky goodness and rich gravy, making it an impressive addition to any meal.
