Grilled Broccolini
Grilled Broccolini is prepared by massaging broccolini with a sauce made from yellow mustard, Brazilian-style sofrito or garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper before grilling it until charred to taste. This technique imparts smoky, tangy, and savory flavors while retaining a tender yet crisp texture. It makes for a unique and flavorful vegetable side dish that elevates broccolini beyond simple steaming or sautéing.
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccolini 16 oz
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sofrito or 6 cloves of garlic minced, Brazilian style
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 400F.
- Trim the broccolini and arrange it in a dish or bowl. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the Brazilian sofrito, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Massage the sauce over the broccolini with your hands.
- Arrange the broccolini on the grill in a grilling tray, or directly over the grill on a grate. Place in an even single layer to where all the broccolini can cook. You may do this in batches, too.
- Grill for 3 to 5 minutes, or until charred to your satisfaction.
Bom Apetite!!
Notes
- Store any leftover broccolini in an airtight container in the fridge to preserve freshness.
- Reheat leftovers either in an air fryer or under a broiler to restore crisp texture and charred flavor.
