Tuscan-Style Broccolini (or Rapini) with Garlic and Onion
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil (or mix)
- 1 cup onion, thinly julienned (sweet variety, if available)
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced into thin shards
- 2 bunches broccolini or rapini, trimmed if necessary
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- ½ to 1 cup organic chicken bone broth
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 to 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing
Directions
- Place the ghee or coconut oil in a sauté pan over medium to high heat.
- Add the julienned onions and the shards of garlic.
- Season with salt, and chili flakes, if desired. (Sautéing will increase the intensity of the chili.)
- Cook this mixture until the onions are translucent and the garlic is slightly browned.
- Add the broccolini or rapini and toss gently or combine using tongs.
- Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the chicken bone broth.
- Place a lid on the pan and allow the broccoli to steam and soften for 5 to 7 minutes, or until tender. (Broccoli is easier to digest when cooked well, as the fiber in the stems will break down.)
- When it’s ready, toss on the Parmesan cheese and/or nutritional yeast flakes.
- Place in a serving dish and drizzle with olive oil.
