Broccolini Side Dish

I've always heard people talking about Broccolini but I had never tried it. It tasted basically like broccoli but a little more delicate. I really liked it and plan to use it more often. The recipe below would be good for most green, hearty vegetables so feel free to experiment. I like to garnish this dish with extra lemon zest and a little parmesan cheese grated on top.

Ingredients
1 bunch broccolini Kosher salt
1 Tbs butter or olive oil
1/2 lemon, zested
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
1. Blanch the broccolini by putting it in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water. Drain on paper towels.

2. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over low heat. Add the lemon zest and garlic and stir. Add the broccolini to the garlic mixture and heat for 2 minutes.

3. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and toss well before serving.
