Ingredients
- 9 ounces broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped or grated
- 1 1/2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
- 15 ounces (1 can) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- salt and black pepper
Here's how to make it:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Put the broccolini on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until charred around the edges.
- Meanwhile, mix the diced onion and garlic in a large bowl with the juice of half a lemon and some salt. Add the chopped herbs along with the cannellini beans. Pour in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mix well, and season with salt and pepper.
- Place a griddle pan over high heat. Slice the remaining lemon in half and griddle, cut side down, until charred, to serve alongside the dish.
- Pour the beans onto a plate and top with the crisped-up broccolini and the grilled lemon. I enjoy this with a hunk of good crusty bread!
