Garlic Butter Broccolini
This garlic butter broccolini recipe is as simple as it gets! The sauce is light and lovely, and the freshness of the broccolini is highlighted in this versatile side dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 ounces broccolini ends trimmed
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter cut into pats
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Lemon juice optional, for serving
Instructions
- Add the water to a skillet and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, add the broccolini and cover the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Drain the remaining water from the skillet.
- Return the skillet (with the broccolini in it) to the stove over medium heat.
- Add the butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook the broccolini, tossing often, for 2-3 more minutes or until the garlic is lightly cooked (not browned) and the broccolini is tender.
- Season generously with salt & pepper and serve with a little lemon juice squeezed over top if desired.
Notes
- I prefer to finely chop the garlic with a knife vs. using my garlic press because the garlic has a more mellow flavor that way.
- I use my sea salt grinder and freshly cracked pepper. Or change it up with some seasoning salt or Tony's Creole seasoning.
