Sicilian Broccoli
with Tarragon-Hazelnut Relish & Lemon-Caper Millet
Sicily is cherished for its sun-drenched ingredients like salt-cured capers, juicy lemons, sweet raisins, buttery hazelnuts, and wild fennel. Inspired by the flavors of this Italian island, we serve broccoli and broccoli rabe on a bed of fluffy millet with capers, raisins, and lemon. In lieu of wild fennel, we stir similarly anise-flavored tarragon into a toasted hazelnut relish.

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add millet and toast until aromatic and beginning to pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and grains are tender, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove cooked millet from heat and set aside, covered.
Meanwhile, toast hazelnuts over medium heat in large nonstick skillet until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Add tarragon, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and stir tarragon-hazelnut relish. Wipe skillet clean.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add broccoli rabe and a pinch of salt and cook until bright green and just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in just half the lemon juice.
Fluff millet with fork and stir in remaining lemon juice, capers, raisins, and a pinch of salt. Divide lemon-caper millet between plates. Top with Sicilian broccoli and tarragon-hazelnut relish. Buon appetito!
