A ridiculously delicious small plate that doubles as one of my favorite sides for a steak. Think of it as a cross between broccoli and asparagus. Some recommend blanching (a quick boil followed by an ice bath) before sauteing, It’s not a bad thing to do, but I rarely have the time or space for it. If you have one of those refrigerators that makes ice, by all means do so. Those of us without will use our ice for cocktails. Just be aware that if you do blanch this stuff, you should cut your saute time by a few minutes.
