Broccoli With Bacon And Pine Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Place broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water.
• Cover pan and steam 5 minutes.
• Heat a heavy nonstick skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook 2 minutes.
• Add broccoli and pine nuts and stir-fry 3-4 minutes, or until broccoli is just tender.
• Stir in chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
• Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Discard garlic. Add onion, pancetta, and fennel seeds to skillet; sauté until onion is tender and pancetta begins to brown, about 8 minutes. Add dried crushed red pepper, then broccoli rabe stems and cook 4 minutes to soften slightly, stirring occasionally. Stir in broccoli rabe tops, sprinkle with salt, and add 1 cup water. Cover and cook until stems and tops are tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
• Add pasta to skillet with broccoli rabe and stir over low heat to combine, adding reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls to moisten if necessary. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 cup cheese. Season to taste with salt and generous amount of pepper. Transfer to shallow bowl. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve, passing additional cheese separately.

Steps:

• In extra-large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add pine nuts and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just barely golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add broccoli rabe, sherry, and golden raisins and cover pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli rabe is tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with kosher or coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Combine broccoli, onion, bacon, raisins, and sunflower seeds in a bowl.
• Whisk mayonnaise, sugar, and red wine vinegar together in a bowl until dressing is smooth; pour over broccoli mixture and stir to coat.

Steps:

• In a small dry skillet, toast the pine nuts, stirring constantly to brown evenly. Don't burn!
• Chop the garlic fine. Set aside.
• Separate the broccoli into florets. Peel the skinnier stems and cut into cubes (or reserve the stems for cream of broccoli soup).
• In a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water, blanch the broccoli for about 8 minutes, until it is crisp-tender and still bright green.
• Drain thoroughly in a colander.
• In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and let it soften for a few minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
• Then add the broccoli and pine nuts to the pan. Toss carefully to coat everything well with the garlicky oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Turn into a warmed serving bowl and serve at once. Enjoy!
