BROCCOLI AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH FETA AND RED PEPPERS



Broccoli and Endive Salad With Feta and Red Peppers image

Parents appreciate broccoli because it's one vegetable that their children will eat. But what about broccoli for adults? How much plain steamed broccoli do you really want to eat? We rarely base a meal on this healthy food, yet there are plenty of ways to move it to the center of your plate. For main dishes, I am most likely to use broccoli in a salad, a soup or pasta. Those little flowers - the crown of the broccoli is the plant's flower - are like sponges for tasty sauces, dressings and broths. Like other cruciferous vegetables in the Brassica family (kale, collard greens, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower), broccoli contains sulfur-containing phytonutrients that have gotten a lot of attention from nutritionists for their potential cancer-fighting properties. It's packed with vitamins C, A, K and folate, as well as with fiber. And broccoli is a very good source of manganese, tryptophan, potassium, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc and vitamin E. In this beautiful salad, the bitter flavor of the endive is countered by the sweet red peppers and broccoli.

Time 10m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
1 small garlic clove, minced or pureed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

12 ounces broccoli crowns (2 good-size crowns)

1 tablespoon lightly toasted pine nuts
6 Belgian endives, leaves separated
2 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, tarragon, chervil
3 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the broccoli to the boiling water, and cook 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to the ice water, let cool for a few minutes and drain. Dry on paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the red pepper, pine nuts, feta and half the dressing.
  • In a wide salad bowl, toss together the endives, herbs and remaining dressing. Top with the broccoli mixture, and serve.

SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON



Sheet-Pan Baked Feta With Broccolini, Tomatoes and Lemon image

When baked, feta gains an almost creamy texture, similar to goat cheese but with feta's characteristic tang. In this easy vegetarian sheet-pan dinner, broccolini (or broccoli), grape tomatoes and lemon slices roast alongside the feta until the broccolini crisp, the tomatoes burst and the lemon rinds soften. (Remember, broccolini has a tender, delicious stalk so only the bottom 1/2-inch needs to be trimmed.) Serve this dish over a pile of orzo for a complete meal. If you like, cut the broccolini, feta and lemon into bite-size pieces and toss with the orzo.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed, thick stalks split lengthwise, or broccoli, stalks trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
1 small red onion, peeled, quartered and cut into 2-inch wedges
1 lemon, 1/2 cut into thin rounds and the remaining 1/2 left intact, for serving
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (6- to 8-ounce) blocks feta, cut into 1-inch slices
Cooked orzo or farro, for serving
1/2 cup fresh basil or cilantro leaves and fine stems, roughly chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
  • Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
  • Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

Time 55m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 head broccoli (about 1 1/2 pounds), head cut into long florets, stems peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 ounces feta, plus 1 tablespoon brine (or white wine)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add cumin, poppy, and sunflower seeds to skillet and cook, swirling occasionally, until cumin seeds are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl with sesame seeds; season with salt and 1/2 teaspoon coriander.
  • Toss broccoli with oil and remaining 2 teaspoons coriander; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast, flipping once, until charred in spots and tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Toss with feta brine.
  • Arrange broccoli and feta on a platter. Sprinkle evenly with turmeric and drizzle generously with oil. Top with toasted seeds and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut broccoli florets and roasted red peppers from the grocery store.
  • If you don't have feta cheese, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as Parmesan or mozzarella.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, to the broccoli for extra flavor.
  • Serve the broccoli with a side of rice, quinoa, or pasta for a complete meal.
  • To make the dish even more flavorful, try grilling the broccoli and red peppers instead of roasting them.

Conclusion:

This broccoli with charred red peppers and feta is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your broccoli tender or crispy, roasted or grilled, this recipe is sure to please.
