Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 3 bunches broccolini
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup pinenuts, toasted
- <b>Romesco</b>
- 4 red capsicums
- 2 red onions, peeled and chopped
- 1 fresh jalapeno chilli
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ preserved lemon
- 1 cup smoked almonds
- ½ small bunch coriander, leaves and stalks washed thoroughly
- salt and pepper to season
Instruction
- <p>1. <b>For the romesco,</b> preheat the oven to 210C. Place the capsicums and onions on a baking tray lined with baking paper and roast for 15-25 minutes or until the capsicums are charred and beginning to blister. Turn the veg midway through roasting.</p> <p>2. Allow the capsicums to cool slightly, then peel off the skins and remove the seeded core. Add the onion, capsicum and any juices to a blender with the remaining romesco ingredients and pulse until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning – it should be spicy and slightly acidic. Reserve 1 cup and store the remainder in the fridge for up to two weeks.</p> <p>3. <b>For the broccolini,</b> toss the broccolini in the olive oil and lemon juice. Place an ovenproof frying pan over medium heat, add the broccolini and cook on each side for 1 minute until it gets some colour. Flip the stems over then place the frypan in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked to your liking.</p> <p>4. Dollop the romesco generously over a serving plate. Top with the broccolini stems and scatter with pinenuts. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.</p>
