Ingredients:

1/4 cup chicken gravy
60g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
1/6g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 lb broccoli
910g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broccolini:
- Trim any tough ends from the broccolini and wash thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
2. Mince the Garlic:
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
3. Heat the Pan:
- 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.
4. Sauté the Garlic:
- 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.
5. Add the Broccolini:
- 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.
6. Cook the Broccolini:
- 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.
7. Add Red Pepper Flakes:
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the broccolini, and toss again to combine. Adjust the amount to your heat preference.
8. Finish and Serve:
- 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.
9. Serve Immediately:
- 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. Whether you're looking for a nutritious side dish or a standalone vegetarian option, this recipe delivers both on taste and simplicity. Enjoy your culinary creation!
