This sautéed broccolini is one of those simple sides that fits with almost anything. It’s quick, garlicky, and perfectly crisp-tender with a bit of char. Lightly steamed in the pan, it cooks fast and keeps its vibrant color.
Prep the garlic and broccolini – mince the garlic, and slice the broccolini into 2” long pieces.
Heat a pan or cast iron pan on medium high heat. Add a tablespoon of neutral oil and the chopped broccolini. Let this cook for 2 minutes, then add a pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of water to let it lightly steam. Cook for another 2 minutes, then turn off the heat. Taste a piece, adjust seasoning as desired, then plate.
