17 May Fit2Go Recipe: Red Pepper Garlic Broccolini
WHAT IT IS:
This recipe is a side dish! It goes great with chicken, fish, beef or even pork! I paired it with lemon dill salmon which is a separate recipe! Red pepper garlic broccoli, has a very slight bite to it but you can control the level of spiciness by adding more or less red pepper flakes. Best when cooked in a cast iron skillet, but with or without one it is still a very flavorful and healthy side dish to add to any meal!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- 2 bunches of broccolini
- Red pepper flakes to taste
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 Lemon- for zest and juice
- 2 T or 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 T nutritional yeast (https://amzn.to/2Zbzn1b)
- 1/4 c water
- Hand held grater for lemon zest (https://amzn.to/3c9lCUF)
- For best flavor- I highly recommend using a cast iron skillet for this and almost everything you cook! But this is optional (https://amzn.to/3bdPD4t)
