1
Prepare the Broccolini
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and trim the ends. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
2
Prepare the Red Pepper Coulis
Roast the red bell peppers in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes until charred. Allow to cool, then remove skins, seeds, and stems. Blend the peppers with olive oil until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
3
Prepare the Balsamic Reduction
In a saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until it thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4
Fry the Capers
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the capers and fry for 2-3 minutes until they become crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

5
Char the Broccolini
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the broccolini with a bit of olive oil and season with salt. Grill for about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and tender.

6
Assemble the Dish
On a serving plate, spoon some of the red pepper coulis as a base. Arrange the grilled broccolini on top, drizzle with balsamic reduction, and sprinkle with fried capers and grated Pecorino Toscano.
