Best Broccoli With Pine Nuts And Cranberry Relish Recipes

PARMESAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI

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.

GARLIC SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil and garlic. Cook these for a minute, then add the broccoli florets. Pro tip - Make sure the florets are in a single layer so they cook evenly.
• Season with salt and black pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet and cook on low for 3 to 4 minutes. Pro tip - Covering the pan will keep the stem inside which helps soften the stalk making them tender.
• Check to ensure the stalks (stems) are tender. If not, cook uncovered for another 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and pine nuts (or other nuts).Pro tip - We do not cook broccoli covered for more than 4 minutes because it may lose its beautiful green color.
• Drizzle with lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning adding a pinch of salt and black pepper if necessary.
