Sauteed Broccolini, Zucchini, & Cranberries
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccolini cleaned, tough bottoms (lower 1/3 of the stem) discarded
- 1 zucchini sliced into rounds and then sliced in half (should be half slices)
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup onions chopped
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccolini to the pot and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes to blanch. Broccolini should be bright green, crisp, and tender.
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil, chopped onions, and zucchini. Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, until onions have softened and are translucent and zucchini have cooked through. Add broccolini, dried cranberries, and garlic. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to a minute. Enjoy!
