Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Broccolini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and trim off about 1 cm from the bottom ends of the stalks to remove any tough pieces.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant and turns lightly golden (do not let it brown).
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccolini to the skillet. Toss to coat the broccolini in the garlic-infused oil.
Sprinkle the salt and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the broccolini and stir well.
Pour the water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let the broccolini steam for 4-5 minutes, or until the stems are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing any remaining liquid to evaporate.
Transfer the broccolini to a serving dish and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish with your favorite main course!
