Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound fresh broccolini, trimmed and cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped leeks (white and light green parts only)
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic
  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added white beans, rinsed
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted (see tip)
  • ½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccolini; cook, stirring once or twice, until charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe the pan clean and reduce heat to medium.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon oil, leeks, garlic and beans to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans start to blister and turn golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Return the broccolini to the pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a platter.
  3. Stir parsley, hazelnuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil together in a small bowl. Spoon the parsley mixture over the broccolini mixture. Serve immediately.
