Pan Seared Broccolini Recipes

Steps:

• Blanch the broccolini in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the lemon zest and garlic and stir. Drain the broccolini and add it to the garlic mixture and heat for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and toss well before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine garlic, Aleppo pepper, 1/4 cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Lay the trout down flat, skin-side down, on a rimmed sheet pan, fitting the two pieces snugly next to each other. Place lemon slices on top of the trout and scatter broccolini and capers around it. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place in oven and roast until broccolini has started to lightly char around the edges and the trout is opaque and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle everything with the olive oil-garlic mixture and let the flavors mingle for a minute or two.
• Serve directly from the sheet pan (no shame, just use a trivet). Alternatively, transfer trout to a large serving platter or divide fillets among 4 smaller plates.

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with 1 to 2 inches of water and bring to a boil; add broccolini and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer broccolini to a strainer and drain water from skillet.
• Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the hot oil until golden and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Return broccolini to frying pan using tongs; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over broccoli and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook until the florets are tender and the stalks start to soften a bit, 2 minutes or so. Drain in a colander and run cool water over them to stop the cooking. Drain, pat very dry with towels, and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add half the broccolini and arrange it in a single layer. Let the broccolini cook undisturbed until it starts to brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the broccolini to a plate, add the remaining broccolini to the pan, and sear in the same way. When the second batch is seared, combine all the broccolini in the pan along with the garlic, chile flakes, and a couple pinches of salt. Continue to cook, tossing constantly, until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute longer.
• Season to taste with more salt and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Peel the stalk of the broccoli, remove the florets and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut the stalk in half crosswise and then slice each half into 1/8-inch thick slices lengthwise. Place the stalk pieces in the bottom of a 2 1/2 to 3-quart saucepan, add the water and salt. Lay the florets on top. Cover, place over high heat and cook for 3 minutes. Decrease the heat to low and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
• Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
• Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

Steps:

• Stir water, salt, and pepper together in small bowl, til salt dissolves.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high then add the broccoli stems in an even layer.
• Don't stir for about two minutes until they get light browned.
• Add the florets and toss to combine and don't stir for another two minutes, until they just begin to brown.
• Add water spice mixture and cover pan with lid, cooking for two minutes.
• Uncover and cook until desired doneness.
• Note: I eyeballed my broccoli measurements and it worked fine. I did add a little water to mine.
