BROCCOLINI WITH CREAMY LEMON SAUCE



Broccolini With Creamy Lemon Sauce image

A broccoli recipe for those who thought they hated broccoli. Brocconlini is sweeter and milder tasting than mature broccoli. Found this jewel of a recipe in my March 2003 Better Homes and Garden magazine. Fresh asparagus, pea pods or romanesco would make excellent substitutes for the broccolini. Mascarpone is available at Trader Joe's and well-stocked grocery stores.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 13m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb Broccolini ("baby broccoli")
2 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon snipped fresh marjoram (original recipe called for thyme)
1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, finely minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boiling. Cook the broccolini until crisp-tender, approximately 5-7 minutes. (For asparagus: 3-5 minutes; pea pods: 2-4 minutes; romanesco: 7-8 minutes.).
  • Drain well.
  • To make the lemon sauce, in a small bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, sour cream, milk, marjoram, lemon peel and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the cooked broccolini to a serving platter. Spoon the lemon sauce over the vegetables. Garnish with a marjoram sprig.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
  • Choose the Right Broccoli: Use fresh, firm broccoli florets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Make Sure the Timbales are Well-Formed: Use a piping bag or a spoon to carefully transfer the broccoli mixture into the ramekins. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed and that there are no air pockets.
  • Bake the Timbales Until They Are Set: The timbales are done baking when they are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the Timbales Immediately: The timbales are best served hot, with the lemon sauce drizzled on top.

Conclusion:

Broccoli timbales with lemon sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The timbales are light and fluffy, with a tender-crisp broccoli filling. The lemon sauce is tart and tangy, and it complements the timbales perfectly. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
