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.

SIMPLE BROCCOLINI



Simple Broccolini image

This quick broccolini dish is delicious, good for you, and full of garlicky, lemony flavor. Broccolini is more tender than broccoli and has a milder flavor. I love the mix of textures; the crunchy stems and the softer florets that soak up sauce are a great combination.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND LEMON WITH PARMESAN



Roasted Broccolini and Lemon With Parmesan image

Dumping cheese onto something, roasting it and calling it genius isn't the most original thought, but it's worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is. Maybe it's the caramelized, jammy slices of lemon or maybe it's the almost burnt, crisp, frilly ends of tender broccolini. Whatever it is, a version of this is worthy of every dinner party. While there is something special about the broccolini here (nothing compares to the tender stalks and those wispy ends), this technique also works with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and parsnips, as well as other brassicas like cauliflower and brussels sprouts. (This recipe is adapted from "Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes" by Alison Roman.)

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lemon, halved crosswise, seeds removed
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 bunches broccolini, ends trimmed (or 1 pound broccoli, thinly sliced lengthwise, stem and all)
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds and set the other half aside. Toss lemon slices, garlic and broccolini with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, making sure everything is evenly coated, especially the broccolini tips so they get fried and crisp.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and roast until the broccolini is bright green, starting to char and the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the top and serve.

BROCCOLINI WITH LEMON



Broccolini with Lemon image

Broccolini looks like baby broccoli, but it's actually a natural hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale. (If you can't find it, broccoli rabe can be used in its place.) The tender stalks are blanched first and then sauteed with lemon zest for a quick vegetable dish.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Coarse salt
1 pound broccolini (1 to 2 bunches)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, zested into thin strips and juiced

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook broccolini until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, and transfer broccolini to ice-water bath. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Cook lemon zest until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Add broccolini and cook until warmed through. Transfer to a platter and season with salt and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh broccolini: Look for bright green florets and tender stems. Avoid any broccolini that is wilted or has yellowing leaves.
  • Prepare the broccolini properly: Trim the ends of the broccolini and cut it into 2-inch pieces. You can also leave it whole if you prefer.
  • Cook the broccolini until it is tender-crisp: This will take about 5 minutes in a steamer or boiling water. You can also roast the broccolini in the oven for about 15 minutes.
  • Make the creamy lemon sauce while the broccolini is cooking: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can use a blender or food processor to make the sauce, or you can whisk it together by hand.
  • Serve the broccolini with the creamy lemon sauce immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Broccolini with creamy lemon sauce is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
