Broccoli And Scallions With Thai Style Vinaigrette Food

BROCCOLI AND SCALLIONS WITH THAI-STYLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli and scallions with the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and toss again. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• While the vegetables roast, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients until the brown sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Place the broccoli and scallions in a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Serve right away or the vegetables will become soggy.

THAI NOODLE BOWLS WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, ginger, scallions and chile pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Make the noodle salad: Cook the noodles as the label directs; drain and set aside. Whisk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the fish sauce, sugar and lemongrass in a large bowl; add the broccoli and toss to coat.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, add the broccoli in a single layer and cook until charred on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until crisp-tender, about 2 more minutes.
• Assemble the bowls: Divide the noodles among 4 shallow bowls; top with the broccoli, cucumber, celery, lettuce and mint. Drizzle with the dressing and top with fried onions, peanuts and the reserved scallion greens.

CARAMELIZED BROCCOLI WITH SCALLIONS AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• For the broccoli: Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare the broccoli by cutting away and discarding the bottom of the stalk, then slicing lengthwise into "steak" pieces. Cut the pieces in half, then lengthwise again. Place in a large bowl and toss with salt, pepper, and grapeseed oil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the oven, 15 minutes.
• For the vinaigrette: In a small skillet, heat 1/2 tsp grapeseed oil and toast the pine nuts until lightly brown and aromatic, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add the peppercorns. Toss and set aside. In a food processor, blend the remaining grapeseed oil, shallots, ginger, and orange zest. While the motor is running, add the vinegar in a steady stream to combine; then taste to adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Scrape mixture into a bowl, and stir in sesame seeds, pine nuts, peppercorns, and scallions. Vinaigrette will be chunky.
• Remove the caramelized broccoli from the oven to a mixing bowl and add the vinaigrette. Toss to coat and serve.
