Broccoli With Infused Butter Recipes

BUTTER STEAMED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cut the broccoli into florets, discarding stems or reserving for another use.
• Combine the florets with butter, soy sauce and 1/4 inch water in a skillet large enough to hold the florets in a single layer.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes.
• Remove cover and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 -3 minutes longer.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir florets to coat with sauce and serve.

GARLIC-BUTTER BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cook the broccoli in lightly salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• Add the butter and garlic to the saucepan and cook until the garlic is softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Toss with the salt and a few grinds of pepper.

BROCCOLI WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine the butter, water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the broccoli to the pan, stir to coat, and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring once, until broccoli is tender but still bright green. Serve warm, or refrigerate and serve cold.

BROCCOLI WITH INFUSED BUTTER

Steps:

• Set up a steamer. Steam the broccoli florets for 3 to 5 minutes, until just slightly tender.
• In a separate small saucepan, heat the orange juice over medium-high heat. Reduce to 1/4 cup. Remove juice from heat and add butter, stirring to melt and combine thoroughly.
• Pour over the blanched broccoli and toss. Serve with the orange zest over the final served dish.

ROASTED SAGE BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle onion and sage leaves over broccoli; drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, garlic salt, and black pepper over broccoli mixture; toss to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven until broccoli is browned and crisp, 20 to 30 minutes.
