BROCCOLI ALMONDINE
Steps:
- Steam broccoli Heat butter Add almonds, brown Stir in lemon juice and salt Toss with broccoli
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Blanch the broccoli before cooking: Blanching helps to preserve the broccoli's bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli in a colander and immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of nuts and seeds: In addition to almonds, you can use other nuts and seeds in this recipe, such as pine nuts, walnuts, or sunflower seeds. You can also use a combination of nuts and seeds.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice: A squeeze of lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
- Serve immediately: Broccoli almondine is best served immediately after cooking. The broccoli will start to lose its crisp texture if it sits for too long.

Broccoli almondine is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is healthy, delicious, and versatile. You can serve it with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
