Sautéed Baby Broccoli
Print This Recipe
This delicious vegetable, which you may see labeled as baby broccoli, Broccolini, or asparation, is a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale. It has a slightly milder, sweeter taste than broccoli and a more tender texture. You can find it in specialty food stores and many supermarkets. If baby broccoli is unavailable, you can also use broccoli florets.
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches baby broccoli, trimmed
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepperHeat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add baby broccoli; season with salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until baby broccoli has turned bright green and is tender, about 9 minutes. Serve immediately.
