This quick broccolini dish is delicious, good for you, and full of garlicky, lemony flavor. Broccolini is more tender than broccoli and has a milder flavor. I love the mix of textures; the crunchy stems and the softer florets that soak up sauce are a great combination.

Simple Broccolini

broccolini

olive oil

garlic,

lemon wedge

salt and black pepper

red pepper flakes

Fill a large skillet with 1 to 2 inches of water and bring to a boil; add broccolini and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer broccolini to a strainer and drain water from skillet.


Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the hot oil until golden and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Return broccolini to frying pan using tongs; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over broccoli and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.


I love broccolini if prepared correctly and these are nice directions.  I took one more step and transferred the broccolini to an ice bath after the first two minutes of cooking to stop the cooking process.   This kept it a beautiful, vibrant green.

when in a pinch I always use S&P Garlic with EVOO but the addition of lemon juice made it pop and I was serving it with panfried Talipia. many new cooks go right for the most ratings so lets show them simple can rate high as well.

I love the simplicity of the recipe! Plus, doing a ice cold bath after cooking it really helps big time! Serving it with roasted garlic alongside it adds more taste. Thank you for sharing! ??

I was searching for a quick and simple recipe to pair with my weeknight meal of cod fish veggies and rice and this did the trick. Taste was ok and texture was one-dimensional.

Simple and easy with a lot of flavor. I of course added far more garlic and I liked that. I wonder too if it would be good to cut the broccolini once it was blanched.

Yunmy recipe and so simple... Added a few sweet yellow cherry type tomatoes and it was just as good!

I saw another highly-rated recipe online that also called for lemon zest, so I added that. I trimmed about half an inch off the bottoms of the stalks. After blanching, I did an ice bath (well, really cold water) to stop the cooking process. Half a bunch was plenty just for me. I let it cook for about 3 min; it was still a little crisp, but much better than being soggy. Easy, healthy and delicious! Thanks!

I m a big fan of broccolini and this is my first time making it at home. Great easy/fast recipe! I paired it with a sweet & spicy mahi mahi. Great match! Will definitely be making this again.

Simple and came out excellent. I added a bit more olive oil.
