"Broccolini is a hybrid cross between broccoli and Chinese gai lan. The taste is not altogether broccoli, but lies somewhere between broccoli and asparagus. The stems are much more slender than broccoli, and cook easily without paring. If you cannot get broccolini at your market, try a 50/50 mix of broccoli florets and tender asparagus spears."

Brocollini is not my favorite vegetable but the sauce in this recipe is super. I will love it on Broccoli, asparagus or a combination of the two. Another lovely side dish from Sue
