Charred Broccolini® on a Smokey Cashew + Butter Bean Spread - fancy feels, zero fuss 🫡
 I’m using @perfectionfresh Broccolini® for this one and let me tell you, the flavour is so mild and sweet that it just works so well in this recipe 🤌 But also, did you know every part is edible (no waste 🙌)?!

It’s super convenient to throw together in sooo many dishes and you don’t need to peel or chop, just throw into a skillet or fry pan and you’re good to go - very lazy girl approved ✅ I’m obsessed with how easy (under 10 MINUTES - yes please) this dish is for lazy weeknights, quick WFH lunches or when you wanna impress & entertain!

How to make ↓

For the Broccolini®:
* 2 bunches Broccolini®
* Drizzle of olive oil
* Pinch of sea salt
* Optional: squeeze of lemon

For the Smoked Cashew & Butter Bean Spread:
* 1/3 cup raw cashews (pre-soaked)
* 400g canned butter beans, drained & rinsed
* 1 small garlic clove
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
* 1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
* Salt to taste
* 2–4 tbsp water (to blend to desired creaminess)

To Finish:
* Lemon zest
* Lemon wedge or drizzle of chilli oil

Method
1. Blend soaked cashews, butter beans, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and a little water until super smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning and water to get it just right - smooth and scoopable.
2. Toss Broccolini® in olive oil and salt. Heat a grill pan, skillet or standard fry pan until hot, then cook it for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally until it’s lightly charred but still vibrant and crisp-tender.
3. Spread a generous swoosh of the cashew butter bean mix onto a plate. Top with the hot Broccolini®.
4. Scatter over lemon zest. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side or a cheeky drizzle of chilli oil for extra kick.
