Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your barbecue or grill to medium-high heat.
- Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Trim the ends of the broccolini if necessary.
- Place the broccolini in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the broccolini directly on the grill grates.
- Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
- Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In a small dry skillet, toast the walnuts over medium heat until they are lightly browned and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
- Place the grilled broccolini on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the lemon-infused melted butter over the broccolini.
- Sprinkle with the toasted walnuts and finely chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the barbecued broccolini warm as a delightful side dish at your barbecue or special meal.
Tips:
- Choose fresh broccolini with tight florets and vibrant green color for the best texture and flavor.
- Toast the walnuts separately in a dry pan or in the oven until they are golden brown to enhance their nuttiness.
- Make sure your barbecue grill is preheated to a medium-high temperature to achieve a nice char on the broccolini.
- If you don’t have a barbecue grill, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop or roast the broccolini in your oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes.
- Feel free to add other seasonings such as garlic powder, chili flakes, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to enhance the flavors even more.
