Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 small shallots, thinly sliced
1 head broccoli (1 1/4 pounds), cut into florets, stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch coins
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup water
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon (1 1/2 teaspoons zest; 3 tablespoons juice)

Steps:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli, and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Stir in the water, and bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover, and simmer until broccoli is bright green and tender (it should offer little resistance when pierced with the tip of a paring knife), about 4 minutes. (All the liquid should have evaporated; if not, remove lid and continue cooking until dry.) Stir in lemon juice and half the zest.
Transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with remaining lemon zest.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND LEMON WITH PARMESAN

Roasted Broccolini and Lemon With Parmesan image

Dumping cheese onto something, roasting it and calling it genius isn't the most original thought, but it's worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is. Maybe it's the caramelized, jammy slices of lemon or maybe it's the almost burnt, crisp, frilly ends of tender broccolini. Whatever it is, a version of this is worthy of every dinner party. While there is something special about the broccolini here (nothing compares to the tender stalks and those wispy ends), this technique also works with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and parsnips, as well as other brassicas like cauliflower and brussels sprouts. (This recipe is adapted from "Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes" by Alison Roman.)

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lemon, halved crosswise, seeds removed
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 bunches broccolini, ends trimmed (or 1 pound broccoli, thinly sliced lengthwise, stem and all)
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds and set the other half aside. Toss lemon slices, garlic and broccolini with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, making sure everything is evenly coated, especially the broccolini tips so they get fried and crisp.
Sprinkle with Parmesan and roast until the broccolini is bright green, starting to char and the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the top and serve.
