Whether you enjoy it tossed with garlic and breadcrumbs to serve as an accompaniment to meat, or eaten as the hero of the dish in an Asian-inspired stir-fry, broccolini is one vegetable we can’t get enough of. These broccolini recipes show how delicious and versatile this green vegetable is. It’s often misidentified as the younger version of broccoli, but it’s an entirely different plant with longer, thinner stalks and smaller florets.
Broccolini is milder and sweeter than broccoli, with firm, crunchy stems, and leafy florets. It lends itself perfectly to use in stir fries, salads or as a delightful side dish with garlic and anchovies. While often people tend to eat just the leaves of broccoli (though the stalks are completely edible and delicious) when cooking broccolin you most definitely enjoy the entire plant, stalks and all.
Here, we’ve pulled together some delicious ways to use it, from pasta and noodles, to fresh salads to serve alongside a big dinner spread.
Whether you’d like a satisfying pumpkin gnocchi or a chicken, vegetable and almond stir-fry we have something to suit your tastes. Have a scroll through the whole collection of broccolini recipes and fall in love with this vibrant green veg.
