Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Broccolini ends trimmed
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 tablespoons Butter cut into pats
  • 2 cloves Garlic finely chopped
  • to taste Salt & Pepper
  • optional Lemon Juice for serving

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Chef's Knife
  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Add 1 cup water to a skillet and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the water is boiling, add the broccolini and cover the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain the remaining water from the skillet.
  4. Return the skillet (with the broccolini in it) to the stove over medium heat.
  5. Add the butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook the broccolini, tossing often, for 2-3 more minutes or until the garlic is lightly cooked (not browned) and the broccolini is tender.
  6. Season generously with salt & pepper and serve with a little lemon juice squeezed over top if desired.

Notes

  • Tip 1: I prefer to finely chop the garlic with a knife vs. using my garlic press because the garlic has a more mellow flavor that way.
  • Tip 2: I use my sea salt grinder and freshly cracked pepper. Or change it up with some seasoning salt or Tony’s Creole seasoning.
