Roasted Garlic Broccolini

1 package of Organic Broccolini*
1 fresh garlic clove
1 tsp. of sea salt
1 tsp. of crushed red pepper
3 tbs. of Olive Oil

Slice the garlic clove into thin pieces, (do not mince or chop). In a sauce pan, combine the garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and crushed red pepper. Then cook on medium heat until the garlic is a roasted (the garlic should be medium brown in coloring). Lastly, add the broccolini and sauté for about 10 minutes or until Broccolini is tender.

This makes a delicious side to any meal! Last night I served this with Maryland crab cakes. It was a fresh and simple dinner for two! (More than two? Just double the ingredients, and enjoy.)

*Broccolini: This unique vegetable resembles broccoli or asparagus in physical appearance, with long stalks topped by delicate buds. In flavor, broccolini reminds me of asparagus, being sweet and tender with a hint of broccoli-like bite.
