Tonight's dinner had broccolini in it. Not something that's in season, but I need something to add a bit of substance to the lamb soup we were having, and I'd never tried it before. Nor can I say I'm overly impressed with what I tried. I'm not saying that it was completely the fault on the part of the vegetable - I will admit to under cooking it! - but it was just plain not nice. The flavours of a more mature broccoli just weren't there, and I guess I was disappointed.
I may give it one more chance to shine, and cook it for longer (who'd have thought it would need longer than broccoli?) and maybe do something to try and bring out its flavours rather than adding it for substance but I'm not making it any promises. I just don't think its going to become a regular thing. That's even if I ever eat it again.
I'm on the look out though, for a recipe which might give me some ideas about how to cook it well. I don't like finding food that I'm not fond of. I love food, but there's already so much I don't like!

For substance, potatoes always work with lamb, as will carrots, and they're usually easy to find as they grow most of the year. ^_^
I don't usually like Rachel Ray, but this recipe looked easy and like it would make the broccolini taste nice-- it's similar to how I do asparagus at any rate. ^_^
