Broccolini with balsamic vinegar and almonds

Broccolini with balsamic vinegar and almonds is a simple yet delicious dish that combines fresh, nutritious vegetables with the rich flavors of balsamic vinegar and the satisfying crunch of almonds. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or as a healthy side to complement your main course.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup almonds
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
16 oz broccoli
450g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Almonds:
- Start by toasting the almonds. Place a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Add the almonds to the skillet and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once toasted, remove the almonds from the skillet and set them aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Broccolini:
- Wash the broccolini thoroughly under running water.
- Trim the ends of the broccolini stems if needed, and cut any large pieces in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
3. Cook the Broccolini:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the broccolini to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender but still crisp and vibrant green.
4. Add Balsamic Vinegar:
- Once the broccolini is cooked, reduce the heat to low and drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the broccolini.
- Toss the broccolini gently to coat it evenly with the balsamic vinegar.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Transfer the broccolini to a serving dish.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top.
- Serve immediately while warm.

Tips:

- Roasting the almonds enhances their flavor. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until golden brown.

- Blanch the broccolini in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before sautéing to retain its vibrant green color and crisp texture.

- Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar according to your taste preference. Start with a little and add more if needed.

- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to further enhance the flavors of the dish.

- Drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil just before serving for an added touch of richness.

This Broccolini with balsamic vinegar and almonds recipe is both easy and delightful. The dish offers a perfect blend of tender broccolini, tangy vinegar, and crunchy almonds, making it a nutritious and flavorful addition to any meal. Enjoy your tasty creation!
