Garlic Butter Sauteed Broccolini - the easiest & healthiest broccolini recipe ever, takes only 10 mins to make. Quick, fresh, and delicious.

I have seen broccolini in my food stores and farmers market for a while now but I hadn’t had a chance to try them out until now. Oh boy, what a nice discovery and I am so glad that I did. So, what is broccolini?

Broccolini is a nice green vegetable, a hybrid between broccoli and Chinese gai lan (Chinese broccoli).

Broccolini has smaller florets and much longer and thinner stems. When you have a hybrid, it combines the best of both vegetables. The florets have more of a bite and the stems are crunchy.

When it comes to cooking vegetables, the simplest ingredients help retain the original flavors. All you need are some garlic, butter, salt, black pepper and squirts of lemon juice. It’s that simple. Every bite will be bursting with the freshness. Try this garlic butter sauteed broccolini for your dinner tonight!

To reduce the bitterness, be sure to first blanch the broccolini in boiling water for 1-2 min, and then saute. It improves the final result hugely. Also broccolini is not a hybrid of broccoli and gai lan, it is actually of the mustard family, popular in Italy, but relatively unknown elsewhere.

  I think you may be confusing broccolini with broccoli rabe. The latter is indeed bitter, and a cross with the turnip/mustard green family.
