Ingredients

For The Broccolini:

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound broccolini
2 garlic cloves grated
crushed red pepper flakes
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium lemon freshly squeezed

For Serving The Salad:

5 ounces baby spinach, kale, or chard
1 cup cooked black-eyed peas or black lentils or black beans
1/4 cup roasted and salted pistachios finely chopped
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Cook The Broccolini: In a small cast-iron fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until almost smoking. Add half of the broccolini and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to a plate.
Warm the remaining 112 tablespoon olive oil in the pan and cook the remaining broccolini. Season with salt, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Return the first batch of broccolini to the pan and toss to rewarm, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
Serve The Salad: Arrange the greens on a serving plate then top with black-eyed peas, pistachios, feta, and charred broccolini. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and squeeze lemon over the top and serve.
