Ingredients
- 1 lb broccolini
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 5 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Wash broccolini. Pat dry. Chop bottom third of the broccolini stems into ½" discs. Set aside. Leave tops intact, separating very large clusters. Set aside separately. Mince the garlic cloves.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add chopped broccolini stems. Turn down to medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring for about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Continue to stir so they don't burn and add in the remaining tablespoon olive oil and the tops of the broccoli.
- Stir and cook for 2 minutes, until the broccolini turns bright green and the stems are tender, but not mushy.
- Serve immediately or plate and serve at room temperature.
