Category: Side Dishes

This recipe is suitable for a: vegetarian/vegan diet.


Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
8 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. red pepper, crushed
1 bunch (about 12 stalks) broccolini or 2 large stalks of broccoli, heads cut into florets and stems peeled and thinly sliced on the diagonal


Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
In a medium skillet, sauté the garlic in 2 Tbsp. of the olive oil on the lowest heat setting for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavor to mellow but will not burn the garlic. About halfway through the cooking process, sprinkle on the salt, pepper, and red pepper.
Just as you are finishing the garlic, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccolini and blanch it for just two minutes (if using broccoli, blanch it for 3 minutes). Drain it and put it into the skillet with the garlic and remaining 1 Tbsp. of oil. Toss until it is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.
