Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Rinse the broccolini under cold water to clean. Trim any tough ends.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Broccolini

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Sauté with Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine and Season

    Add the blanched broccolini to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and mix well.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the sautéed broccolini to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
