Helpful Hints

· If not serving immediately, reserve the orange juice and add right before serving.

· Enjoy the remaining broccolini in a grain bowl or salad for next day lunch or dinner.

· Crunchy stems and softer florets, broccolini is a cross between broccoli & Chinese broccoli. With a mild, earthy taste it can be sautéed, steamed, roasted, grilled, or enjoyed raw
