This quick broccolini dish is delicious, good for you, and full of garlicky, lemony flavor. Broccolini is more tender than broccoli and has a milder flavor. I love the mix of textures; the crunchy stems and the softer florets that soak up sauce are a great combination.

Cutting cabbage into "steaks" and grilling it brings out sweet and smoky flavors you won't get from any other method, and the crispy, caramelized edges are the best part!
