Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Broccolini

    Rinse the broccolini under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them or leave them whole if you prefer a milder garlic flavor.

  3. 3

    Zest and Juice the Lemon

    Using a microplane or zester, zest the lemon, then cut it in half and juice it. Set both the zest and juice aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 6

    Add the Broccolini

    Add the broccolini to the skillet and toss it in the garlic oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender and bright green.

  4. 7

    Season the Broccolini

    Season the sautéed broccolini with salt, black pepper, the zest, and juice of the lemon. Toss to coat evenly.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the broccolini to a serving dish and enjoy while hot.
