This recipe calls for broccolini, which is mistakengly called baby broccoli. You can also use broccoli rabe instead. There is a distinct difference between broccoli, broccolini and broccoli rabe. You can find out about it on THIS POST of one of my favorite sites called KITCHN.
What You Need:
- 8 oz broccolini (or broccoli rabe) rinsed in running water, ends trimmed (also known as broccoletti or baby broccoli at Trader Joe's) - usually 1 package
- about 15 Cherry tomatoes or sugar plum tomatoes rinsed
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- olive oil to drizzle
- salt and pepper to taste
What To Do:
Preheat the
oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush a baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil.
Place broccolini, tomatoes and shallots in the baking dish in a tight single layer.
Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
Bake for about 25 minutes in preheated oven.
The broccolini will be slightly browned on the edges and the tomatoes wrinkled.
What can go wrong?
What can go wrong?
- The broccolini is too hard - you need to leave longer in the oven
- It starts smoking and it's too dry - you need to put more olive oil
