Garlicky Broccolini

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
 

  • 2 small bunches broccolini
  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 large cloves of garlic
  • Kosher salt
  • Red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath.
  • Trim the broccolini stalks, and slice the broccolini in half lengthwise. If the stalks are very large, quarter them.
  • Blanch the broccolini, in batches, for 2 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer the blanched broccolini to the ice bath, let sit until cooled, then transfer to a paper towel-lined sheet pan to drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet, combine the oil and garlic.
  • Sauté over medium-high heat until the garlic is fragrant and barely begins to brown, for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the broccolini and sauté, tossing to coat with the oil, for 2-3 minutes.
  • Season with salt, to taste, and if using, red pepper flakes, to taste. Serve immediately.
