2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt & pepper
  1.  In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter in 1 tablespoon oil.  Add minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. 
  2. Add Broccolini and sauté stirring to coat, 1 minute.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes for tender crisp or longer if desired.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
  5. Salt and pepper to taste.
