Broccolini, with its thin, tender stalks, offers milder flavor and less waste when compared to traditional broccoli.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound broccolini, about 2 bunches
  • kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the broccolini and cut off about a quarter of the stem. If the stems are quite thick, cut them in half lengthwise.
  2. Fill a medium saucepan with water and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  3. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
  4. Add the broccolini to the boiling water and bring back to a boil. Boil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the broccolini to the ice water and immerse. Drain thoroughly.
  5. Heat the oil and butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook until the garlic just begins to show some color, about 2 minutes. Add the drained and cooled broccolini and cook, stirring, until hot.
  6. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
