ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND LEMON WITH PARMESAN



Roasted Broccolini and Lemon With Parmesan image

Dumping cheese onto something, roasting it and calling it genius isn't the most original thought, but it's worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is. Maybe it's the caramelized, jammy slices of lemon or maybe it's the almost burnt, crisp, frilly ends of tender broccolini. Whatever it is, a version of this is worthy of every dinner party. While there is something special about the broccolini here (nothing compares to the tender stalks and those wispy ends), this technique also works with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and parsnips, as well as other brassicas like cauliflower and brussels sprouts.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lemon, halved crosswise, seeds removed
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 bunches broccolini, ends trimmed (or 1 pound broccoli, thinly sliced lengthwise, stem and all)
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds and set the other half aside. Toss lemon slices, garlic and broccolini with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, making sure everything is evenly coated, especially the broccolini tips so they get fried and crisp.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and roast until the broccolini is bright green, starting to char and the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the top and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh broccolini: Look for broccolini with bright green florets and tender stems. Avoid any bunches that have wilted or yellowing leaves.
  • Trim the broccolini properly: Cut off the tough ends of the broccolini stems, about 1 inch from the bottom. Then, cut the broccolini into 2-3 inch pieces.
  • Blanch the broccolini: Blanching the broccolini helps to preserve its鮮豔綠色 and crisp texture. To blanch the broccolini, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the florets are bright green and the stems are tender. Immediately transfer the broccolini to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the creamy lemon sauce: The creamy lemon sauce is what really makes this dish special. To make the sauce, simply whisk together heavy cream, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  • Combine the broccolini and sauce: Once the broccolini is blanched and the sauce is made, simply combine the two in a large bowl and toss to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, if desired.

Conclusion:

This broccolini with creamy lemon sauce is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The blanched broccolini is tender and crisp, and the creamy lemon sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table!
