Long Stem Broccoli Bread Bake Food

BROCCOLI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large bowl.
• Mix yogurt, eggs, butter, and sugar together in a small bowl until blended. Pour over flour mixture and stir until moistened. Fold in cottage cheese, grated broccoli stems, and Cheddar cheese. Stir well; pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned, about 1 hour. Cover with aluminum foil. Continue baking until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 45 minutes more. Let sit for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack or plate; continue to cool before slicing.

BUTTER-STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH PEPPERY BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes, turning pan and stirring crumbs occasionally to ensure even browning. Remove from oven and transfer crumbs to a bowl. Stir in black pepper and salt to taste. Set aside at room temperature.
• Cut off thick stems of broccoli and save for another purpose, such as soup. Cut broccoli tops into 3-inch-long spears of approximately equal size.
• Put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter, add broccoli spears and season with salt. Add 1 cup water, turn heat to high and cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Cook rapidly until firm-tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. The broccoli should absorb all the butter and water. (If there is any buttery liquid left, spoon over broccoli just before serving.)
• Transfer broccoli to a serving platter or a large wide shallow bowl. Sprinkle generously with peppery crumbs. Using a vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan into rough shards and scatter over the top.

LONG-STEM BROCCOLI WITH SESAME

Steps:

• Steam the broccoli or simply boil it for 3 mins. Make a rough paste by pounding or blending the garlic, ginger and coriander stems together.
• Pour the oil into a hot wok or frying pan. Add the paste, then turn up the heat to full and sizzle for 1 min. Tip in the cooked broccoli, toss well and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Turn off the heat, throw in the coriander and basil leaves, give it a stir and serve.

EASY ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut broccoli florets from the stalk. Peel the stalk and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Mix florets and stem pieces with olive oil in a bowl and transfer to a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until broccoli is tender and lightly browned, about 18 minutes.

LONG-STEM BROCCOLI WITH SAUTéED ONIONS & BACON

Steps:

• Cook the broccoli for 3 mins in boiling salted water. Drain, run under cold water until completely cooled, then set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and bacon. Cook on a medium heat for about 10 mins, adding the garlic halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the onions are soft and golden.
• Add the broccoli to the pan, then toss through to coat in the oil. Cook for a couple more mins until the broccoli is completely heated through. Season with pepper, then serve immediately.
