Method

For the Buttered Broccoli

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Broccoli

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the drained broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the Jasmine Rice Pilaf

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Add the jasmine rice to the saucepan, stirring to coat with the oil and aromatics. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

For the Compound Butter or Sauce

  1. 6

    Make the Compound Butter

    In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, lemon zest, chopped herbs, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap, form into a log, and refrigerate until firm.

To Serve

  1. 7

    Plating the Dish

    On a serving plate, place a generous scoop of jasmine rice pilaf, top with sautéed buttered broccoli, and slice the compound butter over the top. Garnish with microgreens or local herbs before serving.
