What goes with Broccolini?
Broccolini combines slender green stems, small branching florets and tender leaves. The stalk is a substantial part of the portion, with a juicy snap that differs from the softer flower tips. Bunches vary in thickness, so sort or split the larger stems before cooking. It should not be treated as interchangeable with the denser head of mature broccoli or the stronger bitterness of rapini.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Broccolini?
Salted fish, aged cheese and browned alliums can deepen the green flavour, while citrus or bitter leaves keep the finish lively. Texture matters as much as seasoning: the florets retain small particles and the stalks offer a clean bite. Use thick dressings in small amounts, making sure the stem receives flavour instead of loading all the salt and fat into the buds.
