Broccolini, a hybrid of broccoli and Chinese broccoli, a leafy vegetable, has a slightly milder flavor compared to the broccoli most of us are used to. When steamed and brightened up with lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese, it’s delightful to the taste buds. This is an easy recipe to prepare and it’s so good that it may just become your new favorite!
1. Add about an inch of water to a pot for a steamer basket and place the pot on the burner over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccolini to the steamer basket and carefully place in the pot. Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes, or until slightly crisp, but the stems are tender enough to pierce with a fork.
2. Once done, remove from heat. Use potholders to carefully remove the steamer basket and set aside.
3. Strain the water from the pot and add the buttery spread and lemon juice to the pot and stir until melted and well combined. Return to low heat for a minute or two to melt the butter if necessary. Once the butter is melted turn the heat off.
4. Add the broccolini to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and use tongs to gently toss to coat the broccolini in the butter-lemon sauce.
5. Sprinkle the lemon zest and Parmesan cheese shreds over the top, toss again, and transfer the broccolini to a serving platter. Serve immediately
Grilled until golden brown with crispy edges, this chicken rubbed with a spicy garlicky cashew sauce is to die for. The recipe can be made ahead and is adjustable too—alter the heat to your preference, sub almonds or walnuts for the cashews, and parsley for the cilantro. It is easy to make and so full of flavor, perfect for cookouts and small gatherings with family!
1. Add the cashews, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, tamari, coconut sugar, jalapeño, lime juice, and water to a food processor or blender. Pulse or blend until the mixture is a smooth paste, scraping down the sides as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside a third of the marinade for serving with the chicken and use the rest to coat the chicken.
2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and rub the marinade on both sides of the chicken, thoroughly coating. Chill for 1-2 hours or overnight (up to 12 hours) until ready to cook. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
3. To grill the chicken: Pre-heat the grill (or grill pan) to medium-high. When placing the chicken on the grill, scoop the extra marinade from the container the chicken marinated in and spread it evenly over the thighs. Grill the chicken for 20-30 minutes, turning carefully once or twice, until golden with some crispy edges and a meat thermometer reads 165°F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, or when cut into with a knife the juices run clear (not pink). Note: As you turn the pieces, some of the coating may fall off. Don't worry if and when this happens.
4. To broil the chicken: Preheat the broiler and adjust the oven rack to the middle of the oven. Use a broiling pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chicken on the pan (with no overlapping pieces), directly under the broiler. Close the oven door and broil for about 20 minutes (depending on how far the chicken is from the heat), turning twice during the cooking time to prevent burning.
5. While the chicken is cooking, warm the reserved marinade in a small pan over medium-low heat. Once the chicken is fully cooked, serve immediately with warmed marinade, lime wedges, and cilantro.
