Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Rinse the broccolini under cold water and trim the ends to remove any tough parts.

  2. 2

    Toast the Hazelnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the hazelnuts. Toast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and chop roughly.

Making Diavola Butter

  1. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 4

    Add Aromatics

    Once the butter is melted, add olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.

Grilling Broccolini

  1. 5

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill Broccolini

    Toss the broccolini in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and tender.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the broccolini from the grill and place it on a serving platter.

  2. 8

    Add Diavola Butter and Garnish

    Drizzle the diavola butter over the grilled broccolini, then sprinkle the toasted hazelnuts and lemon zest on top. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving.
