Grilled Broccolini with Feta

—

SERVES: 3-4

Grilled broccoli & feta

Broccolini develops a pronounced nutty flavour as it chars and contrasts perfectly with salty hits of feta. But there is a trick or two with an easy dish like this ...

Ingredients
—

12 stems broccolini 2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or a good peanut oil (I use Pic’s peanut oil) Flaky sea salt 100g (3½ ounces) sheep’s milk feta, thinly sliced Freshly ground black pepper Fresh fennel, dill, parsley or marjoram Lemon wedges for serving

Method
—

There’s no mistake in the method of this recipe – the broccolini is not blanched before grilling. It’s imperative that you start with very fresh broccolini and use great tasting olive oil and a quality feta. Then it’s easy. It’s tasty enough to serve as a starter  but it’s also great with steak, a roast chicken or a lamb roast.

1 Trim broccolini. If the stems are very thick, cut in half down the length. Massage broccolini with oil, then grill in a heated ridged grill pan or on a barbecue grill until golden and lightly charred. Season with sea salt.

2 Transfer broccolini to a platter or individual plates and top with feta, freshly ground black pepper and chosen herb. Drizzle with a little oil and serve with lemon wedges.

Purple broccolini

Don’t pay more for purple broccolini because like purple beans and purple sprouts, it’ll turn green as it cooks. Pretty, though, she it is raw.
