BROCCOLINI WITH LEMON



Broccolini with Lemon image

Broccolini looks like baby broccoli, but it's actually a natural hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale. (If you can't find it, broccoli rabe can be used in its place.) The tender stalks are blanched first and then sauteed with lemon zest for a quick vegetable dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Coarse salt
1 pound broccolini (1 to 2 bunches)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, zested into thin strips and juiced

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook broccolini until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, and transfer broccolini to ice-water bath. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Cook lemon zest until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Add broccolini and cook until warmed through. Transfer to a platter and season with salt and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Select fresh, firm broccoli crowns with tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Drain the florets well before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will help ensure that the broccoli is cooked evenly and does not become soggy.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the broccoli from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the broccoli and cook, stirring frequently: Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook the broccoli, as it will become mushy.
  • Add the lemon juice, zest, and seasonings: Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the broccoli is coated in the sauce.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed broccoli is best served immediately after cooking. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or as part of a main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed broccoli with lemon is a quick and easy side dish that is both healthy and delicious. It is a great way to add some extra vegetables to your meal. The lemon juice and zest add a bright and tangy flavor to the broccoli, while the garlic and red pepper flakes add a bit of spice. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
