Best Broccolini With Peperoncini Recipes

ROASTED BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Trim 2 inches off the ends of the broccolini stems and cut any thick stalks in half lengthwise. Place the broccolini in a single layer on two sheet pans. (If you put them on one sheet pan, the broccolini will steam rather than roast.) Drizzle each sheet pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and toss well. Roast for 15 minutes, until the broccolini is crisp-tender. Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve hot.

SAUTEED BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Blanch the broccolini in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a bowl of ice water.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the lemon zest and garlic and stir. Drain the broccolini and add it to the garlic mixture and heat for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and toss well before serving.

BROCCOLINI WITH PEPERONCINI

Steps:

• Cook broccoli in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until very tender and darkened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes; drain.
• In a large saucepan, heat oil, garlic, and chiles over medium. Begin stirring when bubbles form around edges of garlic slices. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until garlic is soft and fragrant but hasn't taken on any color, about 3 minutes.
• Add broccoli and reduce heat to low; season with 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring gently a few times, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter; let cool completely. Serve with lemon wedges.

SIMPLE BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Fill a large skillet with 1 to 2 inches of water and bring to a boil; add broccolini and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer broccolini to a strainer and drain water from skillet.
• Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the hot oil until golden and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Return broccolini to frying pan using tongs; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over broccoli and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI WITH PEPPERONCINI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On 2 rimmed baking sheets, toss broccoli with 3 tablespoons oil and salt. Roast until tender and browned in spots, tossing, and rotating sheets once, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and pepper flakes; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add pickling liquid, broth, and beans; bring to a boil. Cook, mashing some beans with the back of a spoon, until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add pepperoncini. Reserve half of all for next day; serve remainder with polenta.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND LEMON WITH 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.

EGG AND BROCCOLINI SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccolini, garlic, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccolini is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; keep warm.
• Whisk the eggs, 2 tablespoons water, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently with a rubber spatula, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Divide the cheese, broccolini and scrambled eggs among the rolls. Top with pepperoncini and drizzle with pepperoncini brine. Serve with chips.

SAUTEED BROCCOLINI AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and the salt to a boil. Remove and discard the bottom third of the broccolini stems. If some stems are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise.
• When the water comes to a full boil, add the broccolini, return to a boil, and cook over high heat for 2 minutes, until the stalks are crisp tender. Drain and immediately immerse the broccolini in a large bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking. Drain in a colander and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a saute pan. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broccolini and stir until heated through.
