Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 scallions, coarsely chopped
¼ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 large hard-boiled eggs
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
2 pounds broccolini, trimmed

Directions

Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket over high heat.
Meanwhile, with the motor running, drop garlic through the feed tube of a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Stop and add scallions, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers and mustard. Pulse until the scallions are finely chopped. Add eggs; pulse until chopped. Add 4 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; pulse to combine.
Add broccolini to the steamer basket, cover and steam, in batches if necessary, until bright green and just tender, about 4 minutes.
Transfer the broccolini to a serving platter. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Top with the sauce.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate sauce (Step 2) for up to 3 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
