Ingredients
- 1 lb broccolini
- 1 ½ tbps extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup water if needed additional 1 tbsp
- salt and pepper for seasoning
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the broccolini and trim any thicker stalks (optional).*
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 2-3 minutes. Add the extra virgin olive oil and the broccolini. Allow the florets a minute or so to sear in the hot pan and get charred before you begin to move them around to coat them in the oil and sear all over.
- Continue to pan fry for another 2 minutes or so, if needed add an extra drizzle of oil to avoid excessive charring.
- Stir in the minced garlic and let become fragrant. About 60 seconds.
- Add the water. Steam the broccolini until the water is almost evaporated before you season with salt and pepper. Steam for an extra minute and remove from the heat. Serve sprinkled with a bit of red pepper flakes or Parmesan cheese.
