Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Broccolini
- 250 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 unit Lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by trimming any tough ends of the broccolini and, if needed, split any thick stalks lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the garlic by peeling and thinly slicing the cloves.
In a large pot or a steamer, bring 250ml of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Place the broccolini in a steaming basket or directly into the pot if you're using a steamer setup.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the broccolini for about 5-7 minutes, or until the stalks are tender yet still vibrant green.
While the broccolini is steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the broccolini from the steamer and arrange on a serving platter.
Drizzle the garlic-infused olive oil over the steamed broccolini.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the broccolini.
Season with 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your keto-friendly steamed broccolini!
