Broccolini takes on a smoky char from the cast-iron pan before it's combined with white beans and aromatics in this savory side dish. A vibrant parsley and hazelnut sauce finishes the dish with a bright and nutty flavor.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound fresh broccolini, trimmed and cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
1 cup chopped leeks (white and light green parts only)
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added white beans, rinsed
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
¼ cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted (see Tip)
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccolini; cook, stirring once or twice, until charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe the pan clean and reduce heat to medium.
Add 1 tablespoon oil, leeks, garlic and beans to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans start to blister and turn golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Return the broccolini to the pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a platter.
Stir parsley, hazelnuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil together in a small bowl. Spoon the parsley mixture over the broccolini mixture. Serve immediately.

Tip

For the best flavor, toast nuts before using in a recipe. To toast chopped nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
