Ingredients

Broccolini

  • 2 bunches broccolini, trimmed
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 2 tbsp chilli oil (good quality, with some sediment)
  • Sea salt flakes and cracked pepper
  • 2 tbsp parmesan, finely grated (optional)
  • 2 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted (optional)

Instructions

Method

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch broccolini for 60 seconds. Drain and pat dry with a tea towel.
  • Heat a heavy frypan or cast iron over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tbsp olive oil.
  • Lay broccolini in a single layer. Don't move for 2 minutes - let it char. Flip, char the other side for 2 minutes.
  • Push broccolini to one side, lower heat to medium. Add remaining olive oil and garlic. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Toss everything together with lemon zest, juice and a pinch of salt.
  • Tip onto a serving plate. Spoon chilli oil across. Scatter parmesan, almonds and cracked pepper. Serve immediately.
