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
- 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.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan, then add the garlic for 20 seconds.
- 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.
- Finally, pile the Broccolini onto a serving platter, and top with the toasted pine nuts, basil and grated parmesan cheese (if using).
