SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes
COURSE: Side
Verdant Broccolini is matched with spicy Calabrian chilis and buttery, crunchy pine nuts for a quick side. Steaming the Broccolini and then cooking it uncovered ensures it achieves a perfectly crisp-tender texture. Thinly sliced garlic rounds out the flavor profile of the dish and adds a nice bite. Pair the Broccolini with chicken, steak, and more.
