Taking this one camping!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've no doubt this will be a 5! I'm blanching the greens ahead (either broccolini, broccoli, or baby bokchoy) ahead and... using Olive Oil as suggested by earlier reviewers. My menu will be grilled salmon with Lemon Pepper and olive oil, Ellie's Quinoa/Pine nut side dish, and grilled tomato halves. It's going to be a colorful, flavorful, healthful meal. Health-Y people eat Health-FUL foods.Read more

This was perfect. The lemon and garlic were just right - fresh and fragrant and not at all harsh. We will be making this all... the time. Can't wait to try it with French beans or asparagus, too. Read more

Simple, Classic and Tasty!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this to accompany sauteed tilapia and cooked it in the same pan. First I blanched and cooled the broccolini, setting... it aside. After prepping the tilapia and wiping out the pan, I doubled the ingredients because I used 2 bunches of broccolini. I substituted half of the butter with olive oil. I also added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic and lemon zest, and added 2 seeded, chopped plum tomatoes at the end to add some color. If you want to get really fancy, shave some fresh parmesean on the top for presentation.Read more

good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I overcooked mine, but they had great flavor. I thought it was a lot of work to keep transferring from the pot to the ice... water and then back into a sautee pan - next time I will sautee them from start to finish and serve immediately after.Read more

Fabulous
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the perfect way to cook broccolini/broccoli. Each time I?ve made it (dozens of times) the results are impeccable. ... The crisp, vibrant broccoli with its succulent but not overpowering flavor is the perfect complement to any meal. Ina?s recipes are spot-on and I highly recommend tucking this recipe away as I find myself turning to it all the time for a quick and easy side dish.Read more
