How do you prepare broccolini?

1. Rinse the broccolini under cold water.

2. Remove the tough ends of the broccolini by snapping them off with your fingers.

3. Trim off any yellow or brown leaves on the stems.

4. Cut the broccolini into 2-inch pieces (or smaller, if desired).

5. Blanch the broccolini by placing it in a large pot of boiling water for 2 minutes. (This step is optional, but it helps to preserve the broccolini's bright green color).

6. Immediately transfer the broccolini to a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process.

7. Drain the broccolini well. The broccolini is now ready to be pan fried, sautéed, or roasted.
