Charred Broccolini with Almond and Raisin Vinaigrette: A Flavorful, Nutty Side Dish Perfect for Any Meal

I love that all of my children love food. It is so much fun to visit them around the world and get their recommendations. So this was a revelation from the USA and a very famous Hollywood restaurant where you may accidentally papp someone if you are taking pics of your food. I loved this recipe so much I wrote notes about it.

You do need to char the broccollini to get the flavour benefits. So go all out with the heat. I have just tried to make this up from my memory and I have to say it isn't quite right, but it is pretty good nonetheless. I hope you think so too.

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. Make as much of it as you need for your Christmas crowd.
