Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic clove
- 0.5 lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Trim any rough ends of the broccolini stalks and halve them lengthwise if thick.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Zest the lemon, then cut it into wedges.
In a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the broccolini and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the broccolini starts to char.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir well to coat the broccolini.
Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the broccolini is tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle lemon zest over the broccolini.
Squeeze the lemon wedges over the broccolini just before serving for a fresh, acidic kick.
Serve the charred broccolini immediately as a side dish or part of a larger meal.
