Brocollini with Pecan Brown Butter

This elegant vegetarian side dish elevates simple tenderstem broccoli into a sophisticated accompaniment suitable for a Sunday roast or a festive dinner party. The secret lies in the beurre noisette, or brown butter, which develops a rich, toasted aroma that perfectly complements the earthy sweetness of the brassicas. Combined with the crunch of toasted pecans and the subtle bite of sautéed shallots, it provides a wonderful contrast of textures that will impress any guest.

While this dish feels indulgent, it is remarkably quick to prepare and can be partially made in advance, making it an ideal choice for busy hosts. By blanching the broccoli ahead of time, you ensure it retains its vibrant green colour and perfect bite before the final quick sauté. Serve this alongside roasted roots or a savoury nut roast for a truly balanced and flavourful seasonal meal.
