ROASTED BROCCOLINI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Trim 2 inches off the ends of the broccolini stems and cut any thick stalks in half lengthwise. Place the broccolini in a single layer on two sheet pans. (If you put them on one sheet pan, the broccolini will steam rather than roast.) Drizzle each sheet pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and toss well. Roast for 15 minutes, until the broccolini is crisp-tender. Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve hot.
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.

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.

Steps:
- Crush and mince 3 cloves garlic; crush remaining 2 cloves and set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cloves minced garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Pour in 1/2 of the wine and 1/2 of the broth. Add white beans, rosemary, and a good pinch of sea salt. Continue to cook for 3 minutes.
- Mash 1/2 of the beans with a potato masher. Pour in remaining wine and broth. Reduce heat slightly, cover, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
- While the beans cook, preheat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Once heated, drizzle each side of the sourdough slices with 1/2 of the olive oil. Set in the pan and grill until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Brush each grilled side with the 2 remaining garlic cloves and set the toast on a plate until ready to assemble.
- Toss broccolini with remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined. Place in a single layer on the heated grill pan. Let them sizzle (likely in batches) until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and continue for another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
- While the broccolini cooks, melt the remaining butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Crack in the eggs, and season each one with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook until whites are set, and yolks are at desired doneness.
- For assembly, smear 1/4 of the white beans on each of the toasts. Top with a fried egg and a few pieces of grilled broccolini. Garnish with Grana Padano cheese and chives.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender broccolini. Look for broccolini with bright green florets and stems that are not too thick.
- Trim the broccolini. Cut off the bottom inch or two of the stems, and remove any tough outer leaves.
- Blanch the broccolini. This step helps to brighten the color of the broccolini and make it more tender. To blanch the broccolini, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the florets are bright green and the stems are tender. Immediately remove the broccolini from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Roast the broccolini and beans. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the blanched broccolini, beans, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccolini is browned and tender and the beans are heated through.
- Serve immediately. Roast broccolini and beans are best served hot. You can garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, or chopped fresh herbs.
