Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs broccolini, washed and trimmed (approx. 680g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (about a 1-inch piece) (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan) (5 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (5 ml)

Instructions:

  1. Wash and trim the broccolini. Cut any thick stalks lengthwise for even cooking.
  2. Whisk together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds), being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add broccolini to the skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp and bright green, about 5-7 minutes. Add a splash of water to the pan and cover briefly to steam if needed to achieve desired tenderness.
  5. Remove from heat and pour the ginger-citrus dressing over the broccolini. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
