Quick and Easy Weeknight Dinners with Broccolini®

Broccolini® is a versatile, delicious vegetable that deserves a spot in every household's weeknight dinner rotation. A hybrid of Chinese kale and traditional broccoli, it has a mild, slightly sweet flavour with a hint of peppery bite. Its long, tender stems and small florets mean you can eat the entire vegetable—no waste, just pure goodness.
