sauteed brocollini

I like brocollini more than I like broccoli. brocollini is not only tastier but prettier. If you live in Sonoma County, head over to Green String Farm and pick some up! I got a huge bag of it (about 5 bunches) for 2 dollars.

Ingredients

brocollini

• Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 lemon, zested
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Blanch the broccolini in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.

Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the lemon zest and garlic and stir. Drain the broccolini and add it to the garlic mixture and heat for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
