Broccoli With Smoked Almonds Food

STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Place broccoli into baking dish and pour in water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent for 8 minutes. In a 1 cup glass measuring cup, melt butter with lemon juice, almonds and salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

SAUTEED BROCCOLI AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Cut stalk of broccoli from florets. Peel the stalk and cut the stalk into 1/4-inch rounds. Cut head of broccoli into florets.
• In a large saute pan, toast almonds until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan. Add butter and when melted, add garlic and sliced stalks. Saute, until garlic turns golden and stalks start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the florets and continue cooking another 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cover pan. Cook broccoli until crisp tender, about 3 minutes more. Season with salt. Stir in toasted almonds and serve.

BROCCOLI WITH ALMOND BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter, syrup, and lemon juice together. Steam broccoli stems in large pot set over medium heat for 3 minutes.
• Add florets and steam until stems and florets are crisp-tender (about 5 minutes longer). Drain broccoli and pour melted butter mixture over them.
• Top with toasted almonds.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Toss the broccoli florets on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a hefty sprinkling of kosher salt. Roast for 20 minutes.
• While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until quite warm (about 2 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and the smoked paprika and remove the pan from the heat. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Put the sherry vinegar and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the paprika oil. Try to leave most of the solids (paprika and garlic) in the skillet, if possible.
• After 20 minutes, remove the broccoli from the oven and toss the almonds on top. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette, toss, and serve immediately.
