Broccolini With Sesame Sauce and Lemon
This steamed broccolini dressed with a salty-sweet sesame sauce was inspired by gomae, a Japanese spinach dish. It’s a bright and palate-cleansing; a perfect side for heavy winter dinners. You want the water to be heavily salted to properly season the broccolini. Two tablespoons per quart of water is a good rule of thumb.
