Broccolini With Sesame Sauce and Lemon

Ingredients for Broccolini With Sesame Sauce and Lemon

• 6 bunches broccolini (about 1.4kg total), trimmed, halved lengthwise

• Kosher salt

• 60ml tahini

• 2 tablespoons white miso

• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)

• 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar

• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

• 60ml vegetable or other neutral oil, divided

• 2 teaspoons vegan honey, divided

• 1/2 lemon, seeds removed

• Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Cook broccolini in a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green and crisp-tender, 5–7 minutes. Drain and transfer to paper towels.

Meanwhile, mix tahini, miso, soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, sesame oil, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl to combine; season sesame sauce with salt.

Cut lemon lengthwise into quarters, then thinly slice crosswise. Toss in a small bowl with remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and remaining 1 teaspoon honey; season lightly with salt.

Spread sesame sauce on a platter and arrange broccolini on top. Scatter lemon over; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Do Ahead: Sesame sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
