BROCCOLI RABE PIE



Broccoli Rabe Pie image

This unique spin on a traditional pizza from from Jim Lahey, author of "My Pizza," features creamy bechamel sauce, provolone cheese, and slightly bitter broccoli rabe.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes one 10- to 12-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 9

Fine sea salt
5 stalks broccoli rabe, tough ends trimmed, coarsely chopped
All-purpose flour
1 ball Quick Basic Pizza Dough
1/4 cup Jim Lahey's Bechamel Sauce
1 medium clove garlic, chopped
1 ounce provolone cheese, shredded
1 1/2 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into 5 clumps
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh Thai pepper, stemmed; seeds removed for less heat, if desired

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone in a gas oven on a rack about 8 inches from the broiler. Preheat oven on bake at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Switch to broil for 10 minutes. If broiler is on the bottom of the oven, place stone in broiler and preheat on low for 20 minutes; increase heat to high and heat 5 minutes more. If using an electric oven, place stone on a rack about 4 inches from the top heating element; preheat on bake at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Open oven door a few inches and leave ajar about 30 seconds. Close and switch to broil for 10 minutes.
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat; immediately reduce to a simmer and add broccoli rabe. Cook for 10 seconds; drain and set aside.
  • Generously flour dough, hands, and work surface. Press dough down and gently stretch it out to 6 to 8 inches. Very carefully continue the process, massaging it into a round disk of 10 to 12 inches, shaping with the palms of your hands and your fingers; you want some of the bubbles to remain in the dough. It should look slightly blistered. Flour a pizza peel and lift dough onto the center.
  • Spoon bechamel over surface of dough and spread evenly, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle surface with garlic and provolone. Evenly distribute mozzarella over top. Cover with broccoli rabe and sprinkle with Thai pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • Using quick, jerking motions, slide pizza onto stone. Broil until top is bubbling and crust is nicely charred but not burned, about 3 1/2 minutes for gas and about 5 1/2 minutes for electric. Transfer pizza to serving platter; slice and serve immediately.

BROCCOLI-AND-POTATO "SAMOSA" PIE



Broccoli-and-Potato

Inspired by Indian samosas, here's an appetizer to feed a crowd and-most importantly-avoid a vat of oil. Store-bought puff pastry crisps up beautifully in the oven, and a mixture of cumin, mustard seeds, and coriander spices up a basic potato and broccoli filling. The pastry is formed into a long rectangular package so there is plenty of surface area for maximum crunch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes (2 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
Kosher salt
6 ounces broccoli (from 1 small head), stems peeled and cut into 1/4-inch coins, head cut into florets (2 cups total)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 teaspoons cumin seeds
3/4 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 onion, finely chopped
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger (from a 2-to- 3-inch piece)
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped serrano or jalapeño pepper (seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic (from 1 to 2 cloves)
1/2 cup tightly packed coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 package (14-to-17 ounces) all-butter puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with 2 inches of water in a saucepan; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Add broccoli to pan; return to a boil and cook 1 minute. Drain and coarsely chop.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high; swirl in oil. Add cumin and mustard seeds and coriander; cook, stirring, until fragrant and mustard seeds begin to pop, 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Add onion, ginger, serrano pepper, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and mashing with the back of a fork, until mixture has the texture of very chunky mashed potatoes. Stir in broccoli and cilantro; season with salt. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 14-by-10-inch rectangle; trim edges. Cut in half crosswise to create two approximately 7-by-10-inch rectangles. Transfer one rectangle to a parchment-lined baking sheet; arrange filling down the center, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush border with egg. Top with second rectangle of dough; press edges to seal. Cut six 2-inch vents in top. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Brush top of pie with egg and bake until puffed and golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool at least 30 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

Yield Makes 6 (light main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch broccoli rabe, thick stalks trimmed, remainder coarsely chopped
8 oz sweet or hot Italian sausage, removed from casings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups cooked thin spaghetti
4 oz Italian Fontina or Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
8 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Cook broccoli rabe in boiling salted water 5 minutes, then drain in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, cook sausage meat in an ovenproof heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over moderately high heat, breaking up meat with a spoon, until browned and crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
  • Add oil and garlic to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add broccoli rabe and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add salt, then pepper to taste. Add to sausage with spaghetti, cheese, and eggs. Toss well and spoon mixture into skillet, spreading to smooth top.
  • Bake in middle of oven until center is set but still moist, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellowing florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small florets. You can also blanch the broccoli for a few minutes to help preserve its color and nutrients.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your broccoli pie. A combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other types of cheeses, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or fontina.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Let the pie cool before slicing: This will help the pie to hold its shape and prevent the filling from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Broccoli pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it's also a perfect dish for potlucks and parties. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a broccoli pie recipe that everyone will love.
