Broccolini with Italian Herb Oil

This vibrant tenderstem broccoli with Italian herb oil is a sophisticated yet simple side dish that brings a fresh, Mediterranean flair to any meal. This recipe elevates the delicate sweetness of the broccoli by pairing it with a punchy, zesty dressing made from flat-leaf parsley, oregano, and a hint of savoury anchovy. The result is a beautifully balanced dish that provides a burst of colour and nutrition to your dinner table.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this vegetable dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from the olive oil. The addition of fresh lemon wedges provides a bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the herbs, making it an excellent accompaniment to grilled fish or roasted chicken. It is a quick, healthy, and flavourful way to enjoy your daily greens.
