Broccolini with Grilled Zucchini & Summer Squash
Recipe courtesy Joshua Adam Garcia

Ingredients
2 quarts water
2 medium sized zucchini, bias cut
2 medium sized summer squash, bias cut
3 ounces achiote oil (olive oil with 1/4 teaspoon annatto seed), divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces broccolini
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 ounce aged balsamic vinegar, for garnish

Directions
Bring water to a boil. Preheat grill to high heat.

Toss zucchini and squash in 1 ounce achiote oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Drop
broccolini in boiling water for 2 minutes or until slightly wilted while preserving color.

Place seasoned zucchini and squash on hot grill. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.

Heat a saute pan over low heat. Add pine nuts and toast lightly. Set aside. Add remaining 2 ounces
achiote oil to the heated saute pan. Add the blanched broccolini and season with salt and freshly
ground black pepper. Increase to medium-high heat. Add sliced garlic and continue to cook until
slightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add grilled zucchini, summer squash and halved cherry tomatoes.
Add butter and toss lightly until butter melts. Plate and drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar,
garnishing with toasted pine nuts.
