Author: Kali Curtis

A flavorful and simple sauce for broccoli or broccolini. It takes it up a notch from just squeezing lemon juice on top with olive oil and chili flakes.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch broccolini
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3/4 cup chopped parsley (loosely packed)
• juice of 1 lemon (3-4 tbsp)
• 1/4 cup pistachios
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp capers
• 6-8 cherry tomatoes (optional, when available)
• chili flakes

Instructions

1. Place the broccolini in a large pan with 1/2 a cup of water on low-medium heat. Once it's simmering, steam it for 5 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and cook until the water evaporates. About 3 minutes. Then add a little olive oil and cook another 3-5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Put all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until everything is well chopped.
3. Mix the sauce with the broccolini. Keep in mind that oyu might ave extra sauce that you can save for something else later.
4. Plate the broccolini and sprinkle it with lemon zest and chili flakes.
