Chinese broccoli - or Gailan - is slightly more bitter than broccoli but without a strong cabbagey flavour. Look for unblemished stalks with tightly closed flowerheads in a well-stocked chain grocery store or an Asian supermarket. Simple flavours of almond and olive oil make this side dish compatible with just about any main.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp slivered almonds
  • 2 bunches Chinese broccoli, (about 12 oz/375 g total)
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Preparation

In large skillet, toast almonds over medium heat until light golden, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

Trim tough ends from broccoli. In same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté garlic and salt until aromatic, about 1 minute.

Add broccoli, 1/4 cup (50 mL) water and lemon rind; cover and steam until tender and no water remains, about 6 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and almonds.
