So, as I was making dinner, I photographed the broccolini that I was getting ready to cook. It got me wondering what, exactly, broccolini is. Well, according to Wikipedia (which you cannot always trust, but in this case it&#8217;s probably right or at least close), broccolini is a hybrid between two cultivars of <em>Brassica oleracea<\/em>. One of those is regular, old broccoli and the other is called kai-lan or Chinese broccoli, which has been bred for it&#8217;s leaves instead of its flower buds. This gives broccolini it&#8217;s longer stems and smaller flower clusters. The way I like to fix broccolini is to parboil it briefly and then put it in a saut&#xe9; pan with a little olive oil and some garlic and salt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writers get writer&#8217;s block.
