Examples
Chef Wetzel pulled baby radishes and broccolini from the garden, "planting" them in a terra cotta pot in an edible "soil" made of sweetened and dehydrated hazelnut and an herbed mayonnaise.
It’s quite a sight/thrill to be surrounded by tangles of broccolini, bunches of spiky mizuna, lush bundles of dark mustard greens, kale in a rainbow of colors, and a bounty of fruits that even the most jaded Californian (and Parisian) can appreciate.
Finally, when the pasta is just al dente (about a minute or two less than it says to cook it on the package), add it to the pan with the sausage and broccolini.
Once the potatoes and broccolini are ready, transfer the vegetables to a plate and split the potatoes.
Stir in the broccoli, cover, and allow to cook for a few minutes, until the broccolini is bright green, but still al dente.
