Spicy Garlic Broccolini
Serves: 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 2 bunches fresh Broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 lemon, halved
- Garnish: shaved Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, bring 4 inches water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil over high heat. Add Broccolini; cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process; drain well.
- In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil, garlic, and red pepper over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add Broccolini, lemon halves, and remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt; cover and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan and red pepper, if desired.
