This was my first time cooking purple sprouting broccoli (it came in my CSA box) and it turned out delicious. You can eat the entire vegetable, I just trimmed the ends of the thicker stalks and some of the leaves that were a bit wilted. Great healthy spring vegetable!

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH GARLIC AND SESAME



Broccoli Salad With Garlic and Sesame image

From Melissa Clark in the *New York Times,* who writes: "This salad is made from uncooked broccoli tossed with an assertive garlic, sesame, chile and cumin-seed vinaigrette slicked with good extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. The acid 'cooks' the florets a little as ceviche does fish. After an hour, the broccoli softens as if blanched, turning bright emerald, and soaking up all the intense flavors of the dressing. You'll be making this one again."

SESAME GARLIC BROCCOLI S-C-J



Sesame Garlic Broccoli S-C-J image

"There's something about the mixture of toasted sesame seeds and garlic that makes this broccoli, well, poetic! Though we created it especially to complement our Sweet and Sour Mango Shrimp, it's the perfect side dish for almost any Asian-style fish or meat. Because the broccoli is steamed rather than sautéed, the fat content is extremely low. If you limit how much sauce you drizzle over it, you can reduce the calories even more."

SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH TOASTED GARLIC, ORANGE AND SESAME



Sautéed Broccoli With Toasted Garlic, Orange and Sesame image

Broccoli was kicked around for years before anyone decided to have fun with it. For a while broccoli lay spent and lifeless, then went irritably crisp. This recipe advances at high speed with admirable results. I toasted garlic slivers in olive oil until sweet and nutty, added oyster sauce to round the edges, then a rustle of sesame seeds and a wisp of orange to pull the whole thing into focus.

Categories     dinner, quick, vegetables, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium head broccoli
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic cloves
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Rinse broccoli. Cut off thick stem where it meets slender stalks, and reserve. With sharp paring knife separate stalks into florets, leaving stems about 1 1/2 inches long on each. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat-side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two and repeat until you have 3-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about 1/2-inch) top to bottom. Peel tough skin from stems, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch medallions. There should be 12 ounces of broccoli, about 7 cups. Set aside.
  • Toast sesame seeds in large nonstick skillet over low heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside.
  • Place olive oil and garlic in skillet over low heat. Toast garlic, stirring frequently, until garlic is deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add pepper flakes to hot oil, and stir. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside. Toss broccoli, salt and 1/4 cup water in same skillet, cover and set over high heat. Cook until broccoli is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 4 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Stir in garlic and oil, oyster sauce and orange peel. Transfer to warm serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Broccoli: Select broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilting florets.
  • Cut Broccoli Evenly: Cut the broccoli into uniform florets to ensure even cooking. This will help prevent some florets from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Blanch the Broccoli (Optional): Blanching the broccoli briefly in boiling water helps retain its vibrant green color and crisp texture. However, this step is optional and can be skipped if desired.
  • Use Fresh Garlic and Ginger: Freshly minced garlic and ginger add a lot of flavor to the dish. Avoid using pre-packaged or powdered versions.
  • Adjust the Sauce to Your Taste: The sauce can be adjusted to your desired level of spiciness and sweetness. Add more chili flakes for a spicier sauce, or more honey for a sweeter sauce.
  • Serve Immediately: Sesame garlic broccoli is best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the broccoli remains crisp and the sauce is still hot.

Conclusion:

Sesame garlic broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in under 30 minutes. The combination of sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce creates a flavorful sauce that perfectly complements the broccoli. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
