Broccolini -Perfect



 
Bunch of Broccolini
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Butter
2 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes
Pinch of Salt 
2 Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Prepare the Broccolini: 
Use a sharp knife to cut off the tough bottoms- an inch or two of the stems. I like to slice the stems lengthwise unless they are really thin. 

Heat the olive oil in a large lidded skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds, then add the broccolini and toss.

Cook, tossing occasionally for 2-3 minutes. 
Add the water and cover.
Reduce the heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, until desired tenderness.

Remove from the heat and toss with lemon juice and salt to taste.
