Herb Olive Oil

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Herb Olive Oil

    In a blender or food processor, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fresh parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Wash the broccolini under cold water and trim the ends. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  3. 3

    Blanch the Broccolini

    Add the broccolini to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  4. 4

    Toss and Serve

    Once the broccolini is cooled, drain again and pat dry. In a large bowl, toss the broccolini with the prepared herb olive oil until evenly coated. Serve immediately.
