Back in the spring, I had the chance to choose the bonus recipe for Barefoot Bloggers. I am no longer a part of that particular cooking group, but at the time, I could not find Broccolini anywhere!It was so frustrating. I must have checked at 6 or 7 different stores and just gave up.
So, imagine my surprise and excitement, 6 months later when I spotted Broccolini at Publix!
As soon as I saw it, I decided that I would make this very easy, Barefoot Contessa side dish and find out exactly what I had missed.
Well, if you have had Broccolini, then you know that it is delicious!
This recipe is so easy. It takes only a matter of minutes.
First, you blanch the broccolini and then, you saute it with a little garlic and lemon zest, except I didn't have a lemon, so I used lime. It was soo good with the lime zest.
The best thing about broccolini, is that you can eat the entire stem and it tastes good. It is 20x better than normal broccoli.
We ate ours with our fingers, while we were having a picnic in the front yard, with pizza.
My kids went crazy for it, but who doesn't love finger food?

It's funny, I bought the broccolini to make this when you picked the recipe, but it never got made. Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to make it! It looks terrific. I'll look for broccolini the next time I'm at the store.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I've never had broccolini? It makes me sad any time I say that about any veggie.
