Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Broccolini
  • 1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 TB lemon juice
  • 1 TB pinenuts, toasted
  • 1 TB julienned fresh basil (optional)
  • 1 TB grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Steam the broccolini stalks in a steamer rack over boiling water until just tender and bright green – about 3-4 minutes(or simply in the boiling water if you don’t have a steamer). Once the broccolini is cooked, remove from steamer and plunge into ice cold water, or run under cold running water in a sieve. This is to stop the cooking any further.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan, then add the garlic for 20 seconds.
  3. Next add the broccolini. Toss the them well in the hot oil to warm them through for 1-2 minutes, adding a pinch of salt and pepper and the lemon juice.
  4. Finally, pile the Broccolini onto a serving platter, and top with the toasted pine nuts, basil and grated parmesan cheese (if using).
