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.

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.

PAN-ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC, PARSLEY AND ROSEMARY



Pan-Roasted Cauliflower With Garlic, Parsley and Rosemary image

Nearly any vegetable tastes good browned in olive oil and showered with garlic, parsley and rosemary, but cauliflower is an especially good candidate for this technique. The inherent sweetness of cauliflower begs for a hit of lemon and hot pepper too. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     easy, quick, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium cauliflower heads (about 2 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon grated or finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup roasted salted almonds (homemade or store bought), roughly chopped
1 red fresno chile, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut each cauliflower in quarters and remove the core. Cut quarters into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Chop down wider slices so all are approximately the same jagged size.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy wide skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add cauliflower and toss to coat using a metal spatula or flat wooden spoon. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Keeping heat brisk, repeatedly turn the cauliflower, letting the slices brown as they cook. Adjust heat as necessary to keep them sizzling nicely but not scorching. Continue to stir and flip the cauliflower until it is tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add crushed red pepper, garlic, rosemary, parsley and lemon zest. Stir well to coat and cook 1 minute more. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with almonds and fresno chile, if using, and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right florets: For the best results, select broccoli and cauliflower florets that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. This will help them brown properly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season generously: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Broccoli and cauliflower should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Skillet-browned broccoli and cauliflower are best served immediately after cooking. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish with a variety of entrees.

Conclusion:

Skillet-browned broccoli and cauliflower is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its vibrant colors and slightly charred flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next meal. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try!
