Refreshing Broccoli

Refreshing Broccoli

There truly is no better broccoli around than this.

What you’ll need:

2 Large bunches of broccoli - cut into florets
1 head elephant garlic – sliced very thinly
¼ c. roasted pine nuts
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
½ Lemon – juiced
1/3 c. fresh parmesan cheese  

Instructions:

Preheat oven to broil.

Place broccoli and pine nuts on a cookie sheet. Coat florets and pine nuts with olive oil and season with salt & pepper to your liking. Place garlic slices here and there. Broil for 15-20 minutes. Tips of florets should be lightly brown. Remove from oven and squeeze juice of ½ a lemon over broccoli. Sprinkle fresh ground parmesan cheese over dish, and serve.

It is imperative to keep the broccoli dry until you begin this recipe. DO NOT wash your broccoli. All bacteria will die under the heat of the broiler.
