Sauteed Broccolini
I’m still continuing my exploration of different vegetables at dinner time. I know broccolini isn’t that far off from our traditional broccoli side at dinner, but it’s just different enough right? This recipe is from one of my favorites, Ina Garten.
Ingredients & Directions:
- 1 Bunch Broccolini
- Salt
- 2 T Butter
- 1/2 Lemon, zested
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 T Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 3 T Capers
Blanch the broccolini in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.
Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the lemon zest and garlic and stir.
Drain the broccolini and add it to the garlic mixture and capers. Heat for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and toss well before serving.
I served the broccolini with marinated steak tips covered in peppers & onions and sweet potato fries.
