Quick & Easy Sautéed Broccolini

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Broccolini, with its long thin stems and small florets, is a cross between broccoli and gai lan or Chinese broccoli. This simple crisp-tender sautéed broccolini has zip from lemon and garlic and just a hint of heat from crushed red pepper. Serve alongside anything from roasted chicken to fish or steak.

Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound broccolini, trimmed
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¼ cup shaved parmigiano-reggiano cheese
  • lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Directions:
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add broccolini; stir to coat in oil. Add water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring once halfway through, until the broccolini is tender-crisp and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover; stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, crushed red pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
