Servings 8
Ingredients
- 2 pounds broccolini
- ⅓ cup butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- Zest of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon thyme, chopped
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Wash and trim the ends of your broccolini, then boil in salted water for 3-4 minutes or until just tender.
- Drain and plunge into a bowl of cold water and ice. This stops the broccolini from cooking any further and also sets the beautiful green color.
- Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the garlic, butter, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
- Then sauté for 15 seconds, making sure not to brown it.
- Add in the broccolini and cook just until the broccolini is heated through, then serve.
