By lovemygolden

Ingredients

• 1 cup (1/2-inch) French bread baguette cubes
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 garlic clove, pressed
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 1/2 pounds fresh Broccolini
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Process bread in a food processor 30 seconds to 1 minute or until coarsely crumbled.

Melt butter with garlic in a large skillet over medium heat; add breadcrumbs, and cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat, and stir in parsley and lemon zest.

Cook Broccolini in boiling salted water to cover 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain well. Toss Broccolini with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture.
