Seasons/Availability

Current Facts
Broccolini "Aspirations" AKA Italian Sprouting broccoli, is a hybrid vegetable, not specific to just the broccoli family, nor is it baby broccoli, as it is fully mature when harvested.
Applications
Broccolini Aspirations are a more versatile vegetable than common broccoli as they were bred to be more tender but also to withstand higher heat. Broccolini can be sauteed, steamed, roasted, grilled and fried. It makes a great appetizer, pasta or risotto ingredient and pizza topping. Broccolini's flavor marries well with butter, olive oil, lemon, lime, light-bodied vinegars, garlic, tomatoes, chiles, cured meats such as pancetta and prosciutto, flaky white fish, hard cheeses such as parmesan and pecorino or fresh cheeses such as chevre and feta.
