Broccoli Polonaise Recipes

Steps:

• Bring enough salted water to a boil in pot to cover egg by 2 inches. Gently lower egg into water and reduce heat to vigorous simmer. Cook 13 minutes. Drain and run cold water over egg until cooled; peel and coarsely chop.
• Cook broccoli in boiling salted water in medium pot 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain and reserve.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook 1 to 2 minutes until butter and shallots begin to brown. Add bread crumbs, stirring until browned, about 1 minute. Remove pan from stove; stir in parsley, salt and pepper to blend.
• Sprinkle crumb mixture over broccoli, topping with chopped eggs. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Cut the top of the broccoli into bite-size florets. Reserve stems. Trim off and discard outside of stems. Cut stems into bite-size pieces.
• Bring water to a boil in the bottom of a steamer. Put the broccoli pieces on a steamer rack. Place the rack over the simmering water and steam about 10 minutes or until tender. Or, if you prefer, drop the broccoli pieces into a saucepan of boiling water and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the broccoli, if necessary, and put it in a hot serving dish.
• Meanwhile, put the egg through a fine sieve, pressing with the fingers.
• Heat the butter in a small skillet and add the bread crumbs, shallots, salt and pepper. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, until the crumbs are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sieved egg and parsley and stir to blend. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture evenly over the broccoli and serve.
