Purchased broccolini and carrots on sale, planning to cook them in garlic and oil while cutting the carrots into various creative shapes. Broccolini will also be cut into bite-size pieces. “Broccolini and carrots are nutritious vegetables that complement each other with their distinct flavours and textures.”

“Broccolini is a hybrid vegetable, a cross between broccoli and Chinese broccoli, known for its long, tender pale-green stalks and small florets. It has a milder and sweeter taste compared to standard broccoli, is high in vitamins C and K, and contains beneficial compounds like sulforaphane. Edible from flower to stem, it can be prepared in various ways including steaming and grilling.”

“Carrots are versatile root vegetables available in various colours, rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and fiber, promoting eye health and lowering cholesterol levels. They can be enjoyed raw, roasted, steamed, or in soups and stews.”

Ingredients

3 bunches broccolini, cut to bite size
2 carrots, cut into various creative shapes

Method

Heat 2 Tbs oil or butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, cook for 25 seconds. Next add carrots, cook for 3-5 minutes until starting to soften. Then add broccolini stems, cook for 2 minutes. Now add the broccolini, salt, and pepper. Sauté for another 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Add white wine, or water or stock and cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes to tenderize quickly. Check seasoning. I added a dash or two more white wine. You don’t have to. Serve it with rice and a dish of meat. Enjoy with a glass of Pinot Griggs!!!
