Advice

If you are looking to make the perfect broccolini dish, my advice is to first rinse the broccolini, then trim and discard the tough ends of the stalks. Then, blanch the broccolini by boiling it for a brief time and then transferring it to a bowl of cold water. After that, you can sauté the broccolini with garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Lastly, top with a sprinkle of your favorite seasoning and enjoy!
