GARLICKY SESAME-CURED BROCCOLI SALAD



Garlicky Sesame-Cured Broccoli Salad image

From The New York Times, Feb. 20, 2008. Given to me by my friend Debbie, who loved it. She said it's best to eat the day you make it and it was less flavorful the next day, so keep that in mind. All you do is mix it all up and let it sit out for an hour before it's ready to eat. If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use cumin powder.

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."

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH PEANUTS AND TAHINI-LIME DRESSING



Broccoli Salad With Peanuts and Tahini-Lime Dressing image

Broccoli stalks, often overlooked or tossed in favor of the florets, take center-stage in this summer picnic salad. While many broccoli slaws are made with mayonnaise-based dressings, this one is inspired by the bright flavors of Thai cuisine, and uses sesame oil, lime juice, salted peanuts, scallions and a dash of hot sauce for heat. (Garnish the slaw with fresh Thai basil, if you like.) Tossed with a creamy vegan tahini-lime dressing, the broccoli softens just enough to lose that raw broccoli flavor without giving up any of its satisfying crunch. A food processor or Mandoline makes quick work of the stems, but with a little bit of patience, a good knife does the trick, too. Finally, this salad is best the day it's made, though its components can be prepared in advance to save time.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds broccoli (see Tip)
3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (3 to 5 scallions)
1/2 cup lightly salted peanuts, finely chopped
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 teaspoons honey or agave
1 garlic clove, finely grated
A few dashes of hot sauce, plus more to taste
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or mint

Steps:

  • Trim the broccoli stalks and peel them to remove the tough outer layer. Cut off the florets, leaving as much of the stalk as possible intact, and set the florets aside. Using the shredding or julienne blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a sharp knife, julienne the stems and place them in a large bowl.
  • Finely chop or julienne the florets and add them to the bowl, along with the scallions and peanuts.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the tahini, lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and hot sauce and whisk until smooth. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat. Set aside at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the broccoli to soften slightly.
  • Just before serving, add the fresh herbs and toss well. (You can refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving.)

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.
