Ingredients
- 400 grams Broccolini
- 250 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 unit Lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming any tough ends of the broccolini and, if needed, split any thick stalks lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Prepare the garlic by peeling and thinly slicing the cloves.
Step 3
In a large pot or a steamer, bring 250ml of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 4
Place the broccolini in a steaming basket or directly into the pot if you're using a steamer setup.
Step 5
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the broccolini for about 5-7 minutes, or until the stalks are tender yet still vibrant green.
Step 6
While the broccolini is steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the sliced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 8
Remove the broccolini from the steamer and arrange on a serving platter.
Step 9
Drizzle the garlic-infused olive oil over the steamed broccolini.
Step 10
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the broccolini.
Step 11
Season with 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 12
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your keto-friendly steamed broccolini!
