MINDY'S FABULOUS OREO BALLS



Mindy's Fabulous Oreo Balls image

This recipe comes from one of the girls that I work with, Mindy Czyzewski. She brought them in one day for an office party and everyone was totally raving about them. I had to call her and ask her for the recipe. Thanks Mindy! :-) Please note that I am not exactly sure of the sizes of the products needed. She said "one block of cream cheese, 1 bag of regular Oreo Cookies and 4 Giant Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars." I will update the sizes once I go to the store for the ingredients. These are a must during PMS! Ha, ha! Servings are also estimated for now.

Categories     Garlic     Vegetable     Side     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Lemon     Broccoli     Fall     Spring     Vegan     Potluck     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lb broccoli, trimmed and cut into 2- to 3-inch-wide florets (5 inches long)
4 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup panko (Japanese coarse bread crumbs)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemonzest

Steps:

  • Put 1 inch of water in a 5-quart wide heavy pot, then put a steamer basket inside pot and bring water to a boil. Add broccoli and steam, covered, until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in panko, pepper, and salt, then increase heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until crumbs are golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in zest.
  • Transfer broccoli with tongs to crumb mixture in skillet and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli with tight, compact florets and deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or brown florets, as this indicates that it is old or has been damaged.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly. Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into 1-inch florets. If you are using frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp. Broccoli should be cooked until it is bright green and tender, but still has a slight crunch to it. Overcooking will make the broccoli mushy.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods. Broccoli can be boiled, steamed, roasted, or sautéed. Each cooking method will produce a slightly different flavor and texture.
  • Add some flavor. Broccoli can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Try adding garlic, lemon, or Parmesan cheese to your next batch of broccoli.

Conclusion:

Broccoli is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its mild flavor and slightly crunchy texture, broccoli is a great addition to salads, stir-fries, soups, and casseroles. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, reach for some broccoli.
