Broccoli di Cicco

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Trim the broccoli di cicco and cut it into florets. Blanch the florets in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    In a serving bowl, combine the blanched broccoli di cicco with the garlic-lemon vinaigrette. Toss to coat evenly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
