I’d like to sub in broccolini for asparagus. Should I give it a quick char first? Or just sub in broccoli? I’m looking forward to making it.

Hi Phyllis!

I love this idea, and I do think your instinct that it would need further cooking is correct. You could either char/roast them a bit or you could give them a quick 1 to 3 minute blanch (depending on the thickness of the stalk. Then just follow the recipe as written, swapping your veg.

Hope this helps!
