HOT POTATO AND BROCCOLI SALAD



Hot Potato and Broccoli Salad image

This is a recipe that I adopted in the Recipezaar restaurant give-away of Feb 2005. UPDATE: Having now made the recipe, I've pretty much left it intact. I myself used fresh basil and increased it to about 1 Tbs. I also left the potatoes unpeeled. I personally leave the salt out, but that's because of doctor's orders and most people probably will like it better as is. The original recipe said 1 bunch broccoli, broken into florets, but the updated Zaar computer program won't accept bunch as a measure, so I've changed how that's shown. I don't believe those changes are likely to affect the flavor much, though, so essentially it's the same recipe I started with. Enjoy!

STEAMED SWEET POTATO, BROCCOLI, AND BEAN SALAD



Steamed Sweet Potato, Broccoli, and Bean Salad image

I wanted to bring sweet potatoes to work for lunch, but didn't want plain old potatoes cooked in the microwave. So I threw this together. Would be good hot or cold. The recipe should make a hearty lunch for two (or three?) -- or serve as a side dish. I used chickpeas but black or pinto beans would probably be just as good.

WARM BROCCOLI DI RAPE AND YUKON GOLD POTATO SALAD



Warm Broccoli di Rape and Yukon Gold Potato Salad image

Provided by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Potato     Vegetable     Side     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Family Reunion     Potluck

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 to 2 pounds broccoli di rape
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, any size
1/4 teaspoon or more salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
dried peperoncino (hot red pepper flakes)

Steps:

  • Rinse and trim the broccoli di rape; cut the peeled stems into 4- or 5-inch lengths. Peel the potatoes, and cut into 1-inch cubes. Put the cubes in a pot with cold water to cover by several inches, and heat to a boil. Cook uncovered for about 5 minutes, then lay the greens and peeled stems on top of the potatoes, cover the pot, and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • Lift out the broccoli di rape and potatoes with a spider or other strainer, and lay them in a colander. Sprinkle about half the salt over the hot vegetables, let them drain and cool for a minute or two, then turn them into a mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil all over the pieces, and toss gently. Sprinkle on more salt and peperoncino to taste (I use 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes, or even more, when I'm making this at home). Toss, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
  • Serve on a big warm platter, or put portions on warm salad plates.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better when boiled and are less likely to fall apart in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not too soft: You want the potatoes to be firm enough to hold their shape, but not so hard that they are difficult to chew.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to broccoli and potatoes, you can also add other vegetables to your salad, such as carrots, celery, or peas.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A good dressing will help to bring all of the flavors of the salad together. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, will add a pop of color and flavor to your salad.

Conclusion:

Broccoli and potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and broccoli, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. By following the tips above, you can make a delicious and flavorful broccoli and potato salad that your family and friends will love.
