Prepare the Broccolini: Using the bias cut technique (as demonstrated in the video), trim the tough ends of the broccolini. 2. Blanching: Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the broccolini in and blanch for exactly 60 seconds. Immediately transfer the broccolini to an ice bath to shock it and stop the cooking process, preserving the vibrant green color and crunch. 3. Sauté: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). 4. Finish: Toss the blanched broccolini briefly in the garlic oil. Transfer to a serving platter. Finish with fresh lemon zest and a pinch of flaky salt.
