Broccoli With Herbed Bread Crumbs Recipes

BROCCOLI/ HERBED HOLLANDAISE SAUCE/ TOASTED BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Skim off the foam from the surface of the butter.
• Remove from the heat.
• In a food processor, pulse the bread to coarse crumbs.
• Transfer the crumbs to a small cookie sheet, toss with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Bake for about 2 minutes, until golden brown.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the broccoli in an even layer and roast for about 15 minutes, until just tender and starting to brown.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer.
• In a stainless steel bowl, mix the egg yolks with the boiling water.
• Set the bowl over the saucepan and whisk the yolks constantly until thickened slightly and bright yellow, about 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat.
• Gently reheat the butter; very gradually, whisk it into the yolks until a slightly thick sauce forms.
• Whisk in the lemon juice and a dash of Tabasco and season the hollandaise sauce lightly with salt and pepper.
• Whisk in the mint and thyme.
• Transfer the broccoli to a platter; pour the hollandaise sauce on top.
• Sprinkle with the bread crumbs and serve.

BUTTER-STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH PEPPERY BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes, turning pan and stirring crumbs occasionally to ensure even browning. Remove from oven and transfer crumbs to a bowl. Stir in black pepper and salt to taste. Set aside at room temperature.
• Cut off thick stems of broccoli and save for another purpose, such as soup. Cut broccoli tops into 3-inch-long spears of approximately equal size.
• Put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter, add broccoli spears and season with salt. Add 1 cup water, turn heat to high and cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Cook rapidly until firm-tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. The broccoli should absorb all the butter and water. (If there is any buttery liquid left, spoon over broccoli just before serving.)
• Transfer broccoli to a serving platter or a large wide shallow bowl. Sprinkle generously with peppery crumbs. Using a vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan into rough shards and scatter over the top.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI WITH BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the broccolini in a resealable plastic bag and add the garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and massage the oil and garlic into the broccolini. Pour the broccolini and garlic into a medium baking dish.
• Pulse the bread in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the olives, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pulse until the olives are finely chopped and the crumbs well-coated in oil.
• Pour the breadcrumb mixture over the broccolini and bake until the broccolini is crisp-tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

PANKO-PARMESAN ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Toss broccoli, bread crumbs, olive oil, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Toss broccoli and continue to roast until golden brown around the edges and slightly crisp, but not mushy, about 10 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven. Immediately drizzle with lemon juice, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
