ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND LEMON WITH PARMESAN
Dumping cheese onto something, roasting it and calling it genius isn't the most original thought, but it's worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is. Maybe it's the caramelized, jammy slices of lemon or maybe it's the almost burnt, crisp, frilly ends of tender broccolini. Whatever it is, a version of this is worthy of every dinner party. While there is something special about the broccolini here (nothing compares to the tender stalks and those wispy ends), this technique also works with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and parsnips, as well as other brassicas like cauliflower and brussels sprouts. (This recipe is adapted from "Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes" by Alison Roman.)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds and set the other half aside. Toss lemon slices, garlic and broccolini with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, making sure everything is evenly coated, especially the broccolini tips so they get fried and crisp.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan and roast until the broccolini is bright green, starting to char and the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the top and serve.

SIMPLE BROCCOLINI
This quick broccolini dish is delicious, good for you, and full of garlicky, lemony flavor. Broccolini is more tender than broccoli and has a milder flavor. I love the mix of textures; the crunchy stems and the softer florets that soak up sauce are a great combination.

BROCCOLINI WITH LEMON
Broccolini looks like baby broccoli, but it's actually a natural hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale. (If you can't find it, broccoli rabe can be used in its place.) The tender stalks are blanched first and then sauteed with lemon zest for a quick vegetable dish.

Steps:
- Remove zest from lemon in 1-inch-wide strips with a vegetable peeler. Cut off any white pith from zest with a small sharp knife. Halve lemon and set aside.
- Heat oil and zest in a 5-quart wide heavy pot over moderate heat until zest is golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and discard zest, reserving oil in pot.
- Cook Broccolini in an 8- to 10-quart pot two-thirds full of boiling salted water , uncovered, until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain well in a large colander.
- Reheat lemon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add Broccolini and cook, tossing, until coated well and heated through, about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste, then squeeze half of lemon over Broccolini. (Reserve remaining lemon half for another use.)
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender broccolini: Look for vibrant green florets and firm, tightly closed buds. Avoid any wilted or yellowing florets.
- Trim the broccolini properly: Cut off the tough ends of the stems, about 1 inch from the base. You can also remove any tough outer leaves if desired.
- Cook the broccolini al dente: This means cooking it until it is tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooking will make the broccolini mushy and bland.
- Use high-quality butter: The butter is a key flavor component in this dish, so use the best quality butter you can find. Unsalted butter is best so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the broccolini, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the broccolini from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than sauté.
- Add the citrus zest and juice at the end: Adding the citrus zest and juice at the end of the cooking process will help to preserve their bright, fresh flavor.
Conclusion:
This broccolini with citrus butter recipe is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The broccolini is tender and flavorful, and the citrus butter adds a bright, tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
