Caramelized Broccolini & White Beans

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
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted (see Tip)
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

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.
