I am sure some of you think I misspelled broccoli, BUT Broccolini is a cross between broccoli and Chinese Kale. Broccolini is very tender and not as bitter as broccoli can sometimes be. If you cannot find in the produce department of your favorite grocery store, then it is ok to use Broccoli spears.
2 pounds broccolini
One quarter cup butter
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced or use jar garlic pieces
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds*
Salt and pepper to taste
Blanch broccolini by placing in a saucepan and covering it with water. Bring water to a boil and cook for several minutes (usually 3 minutes at a rolling boil) until broccolini is crisp tender. Drain off water. Add soy sauce, butter, garlic and sesame oil to the saucepan and cook broccolini for several more minutes. Add toasted sesame seeds and salt and pepper.
*You may toast the sesame seeds by placing them on a baking sheet and heating in the oven on 400 degrees for several minutes until they turn golden brown.
