ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH ALMONDS AND CARDAMOM (MALAI BROCCOLI)



Roasted Broccoli With Almonds and Cardamom (Malai Broccoli) image

This recipe comes from the British cookbook author Meera Sodha, who adapted it from a dish she tasted in Goa, India. It's a smart, simple technique that turns the broccoli crisp and creamy at the same time: charred florets with a lick of thick nutmeg-spiced sauce baked into every nook and cranny. Ms. Sodha uses a mix of cream cheese, yogurt and ground almonds. Don't be afraid to get messy and use your hands to thoroughly coat the broccoli in the sauce; it pays off later.

Provided by Tejal Rao

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 2/3 pounds broccoli florets (from 2 to 3 heads of broccoli)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground or freshly grated whole nutmeg
3/4 cup ground almonds
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper. Break the broccoli into bite-size pieces. Place all the other ingredients into a large bowl and mix well, using a spatula, spoon or electric mixer to combine. Add the broccoli and mix using clean hands, making sure the mixture gets into all the nooks and crannies of the florets.
  • Divide the broccoli between the 2 baking sheets and roast for 10 minutes. Turn the pieces over and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender, crunchy and charred in places. Pile into a bowl and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Blanch the broccoli briefly: Blanching helps preserve the broccoli's鮮豔色澤 and crisp texture. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. For a sharp and tangy flavor, use Parmesan or Romano cheese. For a more mild and nutty flavor, use Asiago or Gruyère cheese.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli will start to lose its鮮豔色澤 and crisp texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Broccoli with almonds is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its鮮豔色澤, crisp texture, and nutty flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
