Broccolini with toasted garlic

So, here’s something I didn’t know: broccolini (aka baby broccoli) is a cross between broccoli and kale.  I always thought it was related to rapini but I was wrong.

Shortly after I discovered the origins of broccolini, I discovered RAW format images.   I’m so excited to be able to correct for the crappy lighting in our house. Prepare yourself for a new era of slightly less mediocre pictures on this blog!

This little dish is as bright and zesty as it looks.  Crispy toasted garlic and sunny lemon perk up the tender-crisp broccolini cooked in garlic olive oil.  So simple and tasty.
