Broccoli and Tomato Bake image

This dish helps me warm up on a cold winter's day without being too heavy. It was inspired by a dish from my favorite vegetarian cookbook. I eat it with rice and chicken for dinner or a piece of brown bread for lunch.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
salt and ground black pepper
¾ pound broccoli - cut into florets, stems peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped green olives
2 teaspoons maple syrup
¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
¼ cup Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Stir in the carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli, recover, and steam until bright green, 4 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the steamer and place in a 8x8 inch baking dish; set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pour the can of diced tomatoes and green olives into the skillet with the onion and carrot mixture. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until most of the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Mix in the maple syrup, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook and stir for 3 minutes.
  • Pour the sauce over the broccoli in the 8x8 inch baking dish. Evenly distribute the goat cheese and Parmesan cheese over the broccoli and sauce.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the cheese begins to brown, about 20 minutes.

ITALIAN BROCCOLI SALAD



Italian Broccoli Salad image

This adaptable make-ahead salad is a great instant lunch or side dish. It starts with raw broccoli florets and stems, thinly sliced into irregular shapes to create many textures. As the broccoli sits with salt and vinegar, it softens and becomes slaw. Its mellow flavor is contrasted by the loud ingredients typically found in an Italian sub or chopped salad, like shallots, pickled peppers, olives and provolone. Feel free to add more protein in the form of cured meats, chickpeas, lentils or mozzarella; vegetables like sweet tomatoes or iceberg lettuce; or basil.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 2 medium heads)
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1/2 cup roasted, salted almonds, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup drained, sliced pickled peppers, such as peperoncini
1/4 cup pitted, torn olives, such as kalamata or Castelvetrano
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1/3 cup red wine vinegar, plus more as needed
3 slices provolone (about 3 ounces), torn or cut into bite-size pieces (or use 1 1/2 ounces aged provolone)

Steps:

  • Rinse the sliced shallot under cold water and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Cut the stalks away from the broccoli heads. Using a knife or vegetable peeler, remove the fibrous outer layer of the stalks so its light green insides emerge; compost or discard the outer layer. Thinly slice the stalks crosswise, then thinly slice the heads into bite-size pieces. (A mix of shapes and sizes adds texture to the salad, so chop up the broccoli a few ways; there's no one right way to go about it.) Transfer to the large bowl as you go, then transfer any loose bits from the cutting board to the bowl.
  • Season the broccoli generously with salt and pepper, then add the almonds, pickled peppers, olives, oil, vinegar and provolone. Toss vigorously with a spoon until everything is combined and the broccoli is shiny with oil.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, oil and vinegar as needed. Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving. The salad improves with age as its flavors meld, and it can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Before serving, bring to room temperature and adjust salt, pepper, oil and vinegar to taste, as flavors change in the fridge.

AWESOME BROCCOLI MARINARA



Awesome Broccoli Marinara image

This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!

Provided by Debra

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Tomatoes

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, basil and olive oil
1 pound broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the tomatoes with their juices, and simmer until the liquid has reduced by about 1/2. Place the broccoli on top of the tomatoes, and season with a little salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Do not over cook the broccoli, it should be a vibrant green. Pour into a serving dish, and toss to blend with the sauce before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have loose florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the broccoli crowns into 1-inch florets and the stems into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching helps to preserve the broccoli's vibrant green color and crisp texture. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the broccoli to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will have a deep red color and a sweet, juicy flavor. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have blemishes.
  • Season the dish to taste: Italian broccoli with tomatoes is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or rosemary, to taste.

Conclusion:

Italian broccoli with tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Serve Italian broccoli with tomatoes as a side dish to your favorite grilled or roasted meats or fish. You can also enjoy it as a vegetarian main course.
