Broccolini with Tahini Sauce Recipe (inspired by Ottolenghi)
Description
The Broccolini with Tahini Sauce recipe, inspired by Ottolenghi, begins by roasting broccolini spears along with lemon slices, chili flakes, and sea salt at high heat until the florets develop crispy edges and the stalks are tender. The lemon slices add brightness and fragrance during roasting.
While the broccolini cooks, a sauce made from plain Greek yogurt, tahini, maple syrup, finely minced garlic, and sea salt is prepared and thinned slightly with water to achieve a pourable consistency. This sauce brings a creamy, nutty, and mildly sweet component that complements the roasted vegetable’s slightly smoky notes.
The plated broccolini is drizzled with freshly squeezed lemon juice and the tahini sauce before being sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. The combination highlights textures from the crispy roasted stems and creamy sauce, balanced with hints of garlic, citrus, and spice, suitable as a side or light snack.
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon sliced
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Place the broccolini on a rimmed baking sheet then drizzle the oil over the top, concentrating on the florets. Lay the lemon slices on the baking sheet and sprinkle the chili flakes and sea salt over top of everything.
- Roast the broccolini for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccolini florets are crispy.
- While the broccolini is in the oven, prepare the tahini yogurt sauce. In a small bowl mix the yogurt, tahini, maple syrup, garlic, and sea salt. Thin with a little water so it is pourable.
- Put the broccolini on a serving plate. Using tongs, squeeze the lemons over the top then drizzle with the tahini sauce. Top with the roasted broccolini and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
