Yield 4-6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

Fresh Broccoli 1 Bunch
Unsalted Butter 4-5 TBSP
Pecorino-Romano Cheese finely grated

Steps:

  • Chop the broccoli into florets and manageable stem pieces or cut it into thinner stems with the tops attached. Steam the broccoli lightly so it's crunchy but tender. Remove from heat so it stops cooking. Drain. While steaming the broccoli brown the butter until it's golden tan and smells nutty. Remove it immediately from the heat so it doesn't scorch. As soon as it's ready toss it with the broccoli Then toss with cheese. Serve

Tips:

  • Select the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid crowns with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and steam or blanch them for a few minutes until they are tender-crisp. This will help retain their vibrant color and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Aim to cook them until they are tender-crisp, with a slight bite to them.
  • Add some seasonings: A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your dish. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or dried herbs, to taste.

Conclusion:

Quick cheesy broccoli is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or even as a snack.
