Ingredients
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling
2 lb broccolini (850 g)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon sugar
grapeseed oil, or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
How to Make It
1. Step
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and set nearby.
2. Step
Blanch the broccolini in the boiling water for about 3 minutes, then transfer to the bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
3. Step
Remove broccolini from the water, shaking off any excess, and spread on a baking sheet.
4. Step
Drizzle the broccolini with the olive oil and season with the cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
5. Step
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grease with grapeseed oil. Add the broccolini to the hot grill and cook until char marks appear, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the broccolini from the grill.
6. Step
Rub the cut sides of the lemon wedges with the sugar to lightly coat, then grill until caramelized, 1 minute on each side.
7. Step
Place the caramelized lemon wedges on top of the broccolini, then squeeze over the broccolini before serving
8. Step
Serve immediately or transfer to a 175°F (80°C) to keep warm until ready to serve.
