Directions
-
Step 1
In a very hot pan, heat the olive oil, then add the broccolini, and fry until charred on one side. You don’t need to move them around much, just leave them to char.
-
Step 2
Remove broccolini from pan and let drain on a paper towel.
-
Step 3
Turn the heat down low on the pan. Place in the almonds and fry in the flavoured oil (add a dash extra oil if the pan is dry). Add the garlic, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Give them a toss, and just as the almonds start to brown, remove from heat.
-
Step 4
Pour over the broccolini straight away, and enjoy warm :)
