Best Broccoli With Charred Red Peppers Feta Recipes
BROCCOLI AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH FETA AND RED PEPPERS
Parents appreciate broccoli because it's one vegetable that their children will eat. But what about broccoli for adults? How much plain steamed broccoli do you really want to eat? We rarely base a meal on this healthy food, yet there are plenty of ways to move it to the center of your plate. For main dishes, I am most likely to use broccoli in a salad, a soup or pasta. Those little flowers - the crown of the broccoli is the plant's flower - are like sponges for tasty sauces, dressings and broths. Like other cruciferous vegetables in the Brassica family (kale, collard greens, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower), broccoli contains sulfur-containing phytonutrients that have gotten a lot of attention from nutritionists for their potential cancer-fighting properties. It's packed with vitamins C, A, K and folate, as well as with fiber. And broccoli is a very good source of manganese, tryptophan, potassium, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc and vitamin E. In this beautiful salad, the bitter flavor of the endive is countered by the sweet red peppers and broccoli.

Steps:
- Make the dressing. Mix together the vinegars, salt, garlic, mustard and oil, or use the buttermilk and oil. Set aside.
- Bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the broccoli to the boiling water, and cook 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to the ice water, let cool for a few minutes and drain. Dry on paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the red pepper, pine nuts, feta and half the dressing.
- In a wide salad bowl, toss together the endives, herbs and remaining dressing. Top with the broccoli mixture, and serve.

Steps:
- Scorch the red peppers directly over the largest flame on the hob for around 5 mins until they blacken, rotating frequently. If you don't have a gas hob, you can use a barbecue or an oven grill on the highest setting. Once blackened, put in a container with a lid and leave to cool.
- Peel the skin off and remove the seeds and any pith from inside. Slice thickly, reserving any juices. Sieve the juices to remove any seeds.
- Cut the broccoli into large florets. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the broccoli for 5 mins, stirring regularly, until starting to to turn golden brown. Add the onion, garlic, some seasoning and 100ml water, then put the lid on the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for a further 5 mins, stirring regularly.
- Pour in any remaining pepper juices, mix and spoon onto a serving plate. Place the red pepper slices on top and scatter over the feta.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH SEEDS AND FETA
For a broccoli side dish that's all grown up, embrace this brassica's best qualities, like its grassy, earthy sweetness, via the flavor-concentrating powers of a hot oven. Place a crown on the finished florets in the form of briny chunks of feta cheese and a bold blend of sesame, poppy, and sunflower seeds along with cumin.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°. Toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add cumin, poppy, and sunflower seeds to skillet and cook, swirling occasionally, until cumin seeds are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl with sesame seeds; season with salt and 1/2 teaspoon coriander.
- Toss broccoli with oil and remaining 2 teaspoons coriander; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast, flipping once, until charred in spots and tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Toss with feta brine.
- Arrange broccoli and feta on a platter. Sprinkle evenly with turmeric and drizzle generously with oil. Top with toasted seeds and serve warm or at room temperature.
SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON
When baked, feta gains an almost creamy texture, similar to goat cheese but with feta's characteristic tang. In this easy vegetarian sheet-pan dinner, broccolini (or broccoli), grape tomatoes and lemon slices roast alongside the feta until the broccolini crisp, the tomatoes burst and the lemon rinds soften. (Remember, broccolini has a tender, delicious stalk so only the bottom 1/2-inch needs to be trimmed.) Serve this dish over a pile of orzo for a complete meal. If you like, cut the broccolini, feta and lemon into bite-size pieces and toss with the orzo.

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.
