STEAM ROASTED BROCCOLI
Listen to the Big Blend Radio conversation with 5-Star Chef Ivan Flowers, who shares turkey tips for Thanksgiving as well as his Steam Roasted Broccoli recipe featured below, the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Steam Roasted Broccoli
2- 1 Lb. Heads of Broccoli
2 Ice Cubes
3 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Granulated Garlic
4 Lemons
3 Roma Tomatoes
3 Tbsp. Balsamic Glaze
¼ Cup Grated Parmesan
Salt Pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut broccoli florets off of stem. Remove woody bottom from stems, peel and cut into thirds.
Put all broccoli on a piece of foil large enough to completely enclose around it. Top it with the ice cubes, juice of 2 lemons, the butter (cut into ½ inch cubes), granulated garlic and olive oil.
Close the foil tightly around the broccoli & make sure it is tightly sealed. Put the foil packet on a baking pan.
Cook around 30-45 minutes, checking after 30. You want the broccoli al dente.
Once cooked, place on platter and salt & pepper to taste. Top with diced Roma tomatoes, balsamic glaze & Parmesan. Serve with lemon wedges.
