- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Remove any leaves from the stalks of broccolini, trim the woody ends by 1- to 2-inches, and slice any thick stalks in half, lengthwise.
- In a 12-inch skillet, over MEDIUM heat, heat the olive oil. Add the broccolini and garlic. Cook, tossing with kitchen tongs to distribute the garlic, for about 30 seconds. Season with the red pepper flakes and salt. Continue to cook, tossing frequently for about 2 minutes. The broccolini should be bright green.
