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.

BROCCOLI WITH FRIED SHALLOTS AND OLIVES



Broccoli With Fried Shallots and Olives image

The fried shallots on top of this dish make it seem a little like a baked green-bean casserole, but with broccoli as the starring vegetable. Olives and thinly sliced garlic give it verve, contrasting nicely with the sweetness of the shallots. You can cook the broccoli and fry the shallots a day ahead. Store the broccoli in the refrigerator, bringing to room temperature before serving; keep the fried shallots in a paper towel-lined container or a jar with an airtight lid. If they wilt, you can crisp them back up by popping them briefly in the oven. Be sure to save the shallot-flavored oil to use for sautéeing the garlic and olives right before serving.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 2 bunches), stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, florets cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 shallots, sliced into rings
5 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped pitted olives, such as Kalamata, Niçoise or Picholine (a combination of black and green is nice)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, or to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook until just tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Heat oil in a small pot over medium heat. In batches, so they don't crowd the pot, fry shallots until light golden, 4 to 6 minutes, using a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate once they've cooked. Sprinkle the fried shallots with salt as you go. If the shallots start to brown too quickly, lower the heat.
  • Keep the oil in the pot, and carefully stir in garlic and olives. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Pour the hot oil, including garlic and olives, over the broccoli, then sprinkle with salt and taste. If you'd like it to be brighter, toss in the vinegar. Serve broccoli with fried shallots on top.

Tips:

  • Choose tender broccolini: Look for broccolini with vibrant green florets and crisp stems. Avoid any bunches that appear wilted or yellowed.
  • Prepare the shallots properly: Slice the shallots thinly and evenly to ensure they cook evenly. You can also use a mandoline for precise and uniform slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the shallots and broccolini, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the broccolini until tender-crisp: Broccolini should be cooked until tender-crisp, with a slight bite to it. Overcooking will make it mushy and less flavorful.
  • Season to taste: Season the broccolini and shallots with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This simple yet flavorful broccolini with shallots dish is a versatile side or main course that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
