Sautéed Broccolini with garlic and lemon is delicious, easy, and also a beautiful side dish. Be careful not to sauté (or steam) for too long, otherwise, the beautiful green color will be diminished and become too soggy.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced, or minced

  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice from half of 1 lemon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring often, until softened and lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the broccolini, salt, and red pepper flakes, and continue to sauté for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the lemon juice, cover the skillet, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Serve at once.

Notes

  • See the video near the top of the blog post for visual guidance. If you liked the video, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. 
  • Regular broccoli can be substituted for broccolini. You may need to sauté the broccoli a little longer since the florets will probably be somewhat larger. But, only by a minute, or two.
  • Don't overcook the broccolini, or it will lose its vibrant green color and become soggy. 
  • Leftovers can be kept covered in the fridge for a day or two. It will lose its crispness and freshness, but will still be pretty yummy after being reheated in the microwave or on the stove.
