Ingredients

3.2 Lb Broccolini
3 whole Anchovy Fillets
1/4 Cup Golden Raisins
1/4 Cup Pine Nuts
2.6 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
5/8 Cup Pecorino Romano
7/8 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 3/4 Tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

Prep broccolini: Trim tough ends. Toss broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Build lemon-garlic oil: Warm olive oil with garlic 2 minutes off heat. Add lemon zest and juice. Reserve for service.
Heat grill: Preheat grill to medium-high, 425°F.
Grill in batches: Grill broccolini in basket, turning, until charred and tender, 6–8 minutes per batch.
Hold wrapped: Transfer to hotel pan, cover with foil, hold at 170°F up to 25 minutes.
Lemon oil finish: Drizzle lemon-garlic oil over broccolini at service—not before long hold.
Parmesan and chili: Grate parmesan and scatter chili flakes over tray at the line.
Tray for ten: Spread charred broccolini in a hotel pan for buffet-style service alongside mains.

Hall tips

Grill basket keeps thin broccolini stems from falling through grates.
Charred tips and tender stems are the goal—don't overcook to mush.
Lemon oil at the line keeps broccolini glossy; added early gets soggy.

Meal prep

Grill broccolini medium-high 425°F in batches, 6–8 minutes. Hold wrapped at 170°F up to 25 minutes. Lemon oil and parmesan at service.

Leftovers

Chop into frittata or omelet filling.
