Broccoli And Rapini With Lemon And Shallots Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the broccoli rabe, tomatoes and shallots in enough olive oil to thoroughly coat. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables onto 2 large baking sheets (avoid crowding the sheets). Roast until the tomatoes have burst and the broccoli rabe is browned around the edges and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter or large bowl to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli, and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
• Stir in the water, and bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover, and simmer until broccoli is bright green and tender (it should offer little resistance when pierced with the tip of a paring knife), about 4 minutes. (All the liquid should have evaporated; if not, remove lid and continue cooking until dry.) Stir in lemon juice and half the zest.
• Transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with remaining lemon zest.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds and set the other half aside. Toss lemon slices, garlic and broccolini with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, making sure everything is evenly coated, especially the broccolini tips so they get fried and crisp.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan and roast until the broccolini is bright green, starting to char and the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the top and serve.
