Boiled broccoli
The cooking time of boiled broccoli is really short so they are perfect if you are looking for a light but at the same time quick side dish.
Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower: there's no doubt, winter is upon us . However, we often don't know how to cook these vegetables that are so good but at the same time so… smelly? However, we certainly don't let ourselves be discouraged by a bit of smell and we will reveal to you how to cook boiled broccoli but above all how to season it.
In fact, we know that the seasoning is often the most delicate moment and, if done in an approximate way, it could result in a light side dish, yes, but also tasteless. So here are our tips for cooking boiled broccoli and seasoning it to perfection.
Preparation
Boiled broccoli
First, remove all the broccoli florets from the stem and wash them well under running water. Then remove the outermost layer of the broccoli stem and cut the heart into not too large pieces.
Bring a pan full of salted water to the boil and boil all the cleaned parts of the broccoli for about 5 minutes . To understand if the broccoli is cooked, skewer it in the toughest part of the inflorescence with a fork or a skewer toothpick.
Once tender, the broccoli is ready to be drained and served.
Here is a video with all the steps to clean and cook boiled broccoli.
How do you season boiled broccoli?
Without a doubt the simplest way is in a salad with oil, apple cider vinegar and salt , but if you want you can also opt for a citronette with oil and lemon . In our opinion, adding a little finely chopped garlic is also useful to give this light side dish an extra boost of flavour.
Boiled broccoli can also be sautéed in a pan with oil, garlic and chilli pepper and then served as a side dish, a bit like pan-fried broccoli , or as a condiment for pasta.
Conservation
Boiled broccoli can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container . We advise you to season them just before serving them, especially if you use lemon or vinegar.
