Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
