In the meantime, mince garlic and let rest (*see nutrition note). Trim the last inch o the broc- colini and then slice into one-inch diagonal pieces. Once cooked, remove sausages from pan and transfer to plate. Add olive oil and diced onion to pan and sauté over medium heat until onion becomes translucent, about two minutes. Add garlic, chili fl akes and sliced broccolini. Cook, stirring frequently for two minutes. Add white wine and tomatoes. Partially cover pan and cook until broccolini is tender, about four minutes. Cut cooked sausages into bite-size pieces and add to pan along with chickpeas to heat through. Serve with chopped fl at-leaf parsley. Nutrition Notes: Garlic is a nutritional powerhouse. It is anti- infl ammatory, anti-microbial and has been shown to lower blood pressure. In order to maximize the potency of its active compounds, "press and rest" – that means mince or press your garlic and then let it rest for about 10 minutes before adding it to the pan. Despite the name, broc- colini is not baby broccoli. It is a hybrid of broccoli. ■ BCLiving asked Vancouver nutri- tionist Haley Barton to create recipes inspired by Sophie Lui's healthy, easy-to-prepare meals. is simple one-pot stir-fry will help fuel you through the cold weather.
