Brocco… what? Broccolini looks similar to broccoli and is often mistaken for young broccoli. In fact, it is a hybrid of broccoli and kai-lan which is a form of Chinese kale. It has long thin stems and makes a great alternative to asparagus as your “go-to green vegetable” on the grill and is just as easy to prepare.
