Ingredients
Grilled Broccolini
- 1 lbs broccolini
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Tahini Sauce
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup water (you may need more)
- 1 tsp flakey salt
- 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 2 tsp white or black sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl toss the broccolini in olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
- In a blender or nutribullet container combine the tahini, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and water and blend until smooth. Add a splash more water if the sauce looks too thick. Set aside while you cook the broccolini.
- Turn the barbecue on to medium high heat and once hot add the broccolini and cook for 8-9 minutes, turning with tongs every few minutes to ensure that it cooks evenly and develops a light char. Once the broccolini is all cooked arrange it on a platter.
- Drizzle the tahini sauce over the broccolini and generously sprinkle with flaky sea salt, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.
