Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (170 g) broccolini, ends slightly cut
  • sea salt, for water
  • 2 tbsp. butter (substitute olive oil) tips & tricks
  • 1/2 tbsp. lemon zest
  • 2 large cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1/2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice tips & tricks
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (I always use mixed peppercorns)

Directions

  • Blanch the broccolini in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes.
  • Drain immediately in a colander before immersing in an ice bath to stop the cooking process; leave it for 2 minutes.
  • Re-transfer to the colander to drain; set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add lemon zest and pressed garlic; stir constantly for 1 minute. Pour in lemon juice, stir to blend before adding the broccolini; toss to coat.
  • Crack on some freshly ground black pepper and toss until heated through, about 1 ½ minutes. Serve immediately
