Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups chopped broccoli in 1/2-inch pieces (from about 2 heads)
8 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/3-inch dice
1/2 cup mascarpone
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled aged gorgonzola

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water alongside. Add the broccoli to the pot and blanch for 1 to 2 minutes, just until bright green and crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove the broccoli to the ice water to shock. Drain well.
  • Place the pancetta in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until crispy and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of the fat.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the mascarpone, mayonnaise, cider vinegar and salt. Add the broccoli, pancetta, reserved fat, cranberries, walnuts and gorgonzola. Toss well to coat and combine.
