Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound broccoli florets (from 1 1/2 pounds broccoli stalks), thinly sliced and then roughly chopped (see photos)
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds or slivered almonds
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
1/3 cup dried cranberries or dried tart cherries, chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 medium clove garlic, pressed or minced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Toast the sunflower seeds: Pour the sunflower seeds into a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently (careful, they'll burn!), until the seeds are turning golden on the sides, about 5 minutes. Pour the toasted seeds into a large serving bowl.
  • Add the chopped broccoli, onion, cheese and cranberries to the serving bowl. Set aside.
  • In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients (olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and salt). Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and stir until all of the broccoli is lightly coated in dressing. I highly recommend letting the salad marinate for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Divide the salad into individual bowls and serve. Leftovers will keep well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, covered.

Garlic Sautéed Broccoli with Cranberries image

Healthy garlic-sauteed broccoli with cranberries and pinenuts turns a regular side dish into something special. It takes just 10 minutes to make and is perfect on its own or with any main course such as fish, chicken, beef, lamb, or pork.

Provided by Veena Azmanov

Categories     Side Dish

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb Broccoli (cut into small florets)
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 large Garlic cloves (sliced)
½ tsp Kosher salt
½ tsp Pepper
1 tbsp Lemon juice
¼ cup Dried cranberries
¼ cup Pinenuts

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil and garlic. Cook these for a minute, then add the broccoli florets. Pro tip - Make sure the florets are in a single layer so they cook evenly.
  • Season with salt and black pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet and cook on low for 3 to 4 minutes. Pro tip - Covering the pan will keep the stem inside which helps soften the stalk making them tender.
  • Check to ensure the stalks (stems) are tender. If not, cook uncovered for another 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and pine nuts (or other nuts).Pro tip - We do not cook broccoli covered for more than 4 minutes because it may lose its beautiful green color.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning adding a pinch of salt and black pepper if necessary.

SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE



Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic and Chile image

This speedy, two-step recipe yields broccoli - or practically any vegetable - that is perfectly browned and cooked all the way through. After florets and thinly sliced stems are seared, add a little water and cover so the broccoli steams in its own juices until fork-tender. Not only does this bring out the vegetable's inherent sweetness, but it softens whatever flavorings you add without burning them. This recipe embraces the prickly heat of chile and garlic, but you could also use ground spices, thyme or rosemary, ginger or scallions, capers or olives. Swap the broccoli for sliced carrots or sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, broccoli rabe, or green beans, adjusting cook time and water as necessary.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound broccoli, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long florets, stems sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, sliced
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for broccoli florets that are deep green in color and tightly closed. Avoid florets that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the broccoli, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the broccoli will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: You want the broccoli to be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooking the broccoli will make it mushy.
  • Add the cranberries and nuts at the end: This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, so be sure to enjoy it as soon as it's ready.

Conclusion:

Garlic Broccoli with Cranberries is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your broccoli more tender or crispy, or you want to add more or less cranberries or nuts, this recipe is versatile and forgiving. So experiment and find the perfect combination of flavors for you!
