Charred Broccolini with Almond and Raisin Vinaigrette
Make on FrescoI 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.
