Add about 1/2 cup of wine along with the lemon juice and mix. Separately, heat a wok or a large sauté pan on high heat with 1-2 Tbsp. of vegetable oil. Add broccolini, shaved garlic, lemon zest, and salt, tossing rapidly until broccolini is crisp, but not blackened. Remove from heat and add crisp broccolini/garlic to bean mixture. Fold in broccolini and add remainder of fresh garlic. Salt to taste and cook for an additional two minutes. To serve- scoop beans and top with 2-3 pieces broccolini.
