lemon pepper broccolini
I always try to buy broccolini when I see it. It’s more tender, flavorful and not so…stinky. Just my opinion. And since the Baby will ONLY eat broccoli stalks, this is a good way to trick him into eating what is mostly…stalk.
ingredients:
1/2 a pound broccolini
2 TB olive oil
salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup water
Wash and dry your broccolini. Zest your lemon, just the yellow parts – a microplane is GREAT for this.
In a pan, heat the olive oil on medium high. Saute the broccolini until is softens just a bit, then add a pinch of salt and the pepper. Sprinkle the lemon zest on top. Add the water to the pan and cover. Steam for about 5-7 minutes and they are ready to eat.

nice, simple recipe, but I would never had thought of it myself. My son actually went, “MMMmmmm…” and ate a lot of it! Very surprising for a mostly meat-eater. Thank you! Oh, it went great with the slow pork chops.
