Broccolini Shiitake,Goji Sauté
- 2 bunches broccolini
- 8-10 pieces dried Shiitake mushrooms, soaked in warm water
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons dried goji berries, no need to soak
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- To blanch bring a large pot salted water to boil. Cut the ends of broccolini and cook them for 2-3 minutes in the boiling water. Remove broccolini and plunge them in iced water. This stops the cooking and prevents discoloration. Drain and pat dry.
- Meanwhile, soak the dried mushrooms for 10 minutes in warm water. Once they are soft, remove and squeeze as much moisture as possible. Slice the mushrooms. If using fresh mushrooms, clean and slice.
- In a saute pan, warm extra virgin oil. Add sliced garlic and fry till slightly brown on the edges, remove and set aside.
- Add broccolini and sliced mushrooms in the same oil ( now garlic oil). Season with salt and ground pepper. Saute on medium heat for 7- 8 minutes, by now the broccolini should be tender, but still crunchy and slightly browned
- Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with goji berries. The berries will soften from the heat. They add a nice color contrast and sweetness. Enjoy!
