Griddled Broccolini with Peanut Sauce Recipe

Ever since I tried Broccolini (also known as bimi) it became one of my favourite vegetable. I have always loved broccoli anyway but broccolini stands on it’s own much better when griddled or baked. In fact the slight charring that results when cooked this way is what makes this vegetable so delicious. The stems are also an important aspect to the experience of eating broccolini, they are almost asparagus like, and whether you eat them crunchy or slightly tender they manage to retain a great texture when cooked. When a vegetable is as good as this one I like to keep it simple, so I simply add oil, seasoning and place on a hot griddle.

The peanut sauce is what makes this dish stand out as it is intense in flavour, rich, sweet, salty and intense in flavour. This is a 15 minute meal (or less) that will leave you satisfied and wanting to make it again. If you want a bit of a fiery kick to it you can also add a few slices of red chilli.
