Broccoli Or Cauliflower With A Soy Lemon Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Put the garlic cloves and oil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until the garlic is browned and tender. Turn off the heat and add the red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Immediately pour into a heat-proof container to stop the cooking. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• For the salad, blanch the broccoli florets in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain well and immerse immediately into a large bowl of ice water until the broccoli is cooled. This process stops the cooking and sets the bright green color. Drain well.
• In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup of the oil used to cook the garlic, the soy sauce, and 8 or more cloves of cooked garlic. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, peel the tough skin from the broccoli stems and cut away the stem ends.
• Cut off the florets and cut the peeled stems on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch thick sections.
• Separate the larger florets so that all are approximately the same size.
• If cooking cauliflower, remove any leaves and break or cut into florets, about 1 1/2 inches wide.
• Arrange the broccoli or cauliflower in a steamer tray, or on a plate set on a rack.
• Fill a wok or pot with several inches of water and heat to boiling.
• Place the vegetable over the boiling water and steam 6-8 minutes, or until tender.
• I like my veggies crisp tender so I steam mine just a few minutes.
• Steam them till they're the way you like, check after 3-4 minutes.
• Drain any water from the broccoli or cauliflower.
• Put the vegetable in a serving bowl, add the dressing, toss lightly and serve.

Steps:

• Combine broccoli, cauliflower, olive oil, lemon-pepper, seasoned salt, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl; stir well. Spread out evenly on a baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roast in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Stir and roast until tender, about 12 minutes more.

Steps:

• Place broccoli florets in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir 2 teaspoons lemon juice into water in a small bowl and pour the mixture into the skillet. Cover and steam until broccoli is bright green and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While broccoli is steaming, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and stir in garlic and salt; turn heat to low and let the garlic gently fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Drain water from cooked broccoli and return to skillet; sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons lemon juice and the butter and garlic mixture. Sprinkle broccoli with black pepper, toss to combine, and season with a bit more pepper if desired.
