Background
If you’re looking for a special side-dish to go with your main course, try this steamed Broccoli with beans and hazelnut! It’s quick and easy to make (max 10 minutes) - fits well in a festive menu (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Anniversaries etc). It goes particularly well with roast lamb.
Ingredients
- 250g Tenderstem broccoli
- 30g blanched hazelnuts
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 100g red onion
- 30g anchovy (from jar)
- 100g canned, drained white beans ( haricot or cannellini)
- Salt, pepper, lemon juice
Instructions
- Cut off the woody ends of the broccoli then blanch them in lightly salted boiling water for about 4 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
- Roughly chop the nuts, then dry-fry them in a frying pan. Transfer them to a plate.
- Cut the onion in half, then slice into thin strips. Roughly chop the garlic. Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the onion and garlic until they soften. Add the chopped anchovies and the drained beans. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the anchovies become mushy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the broccoli on a serving plate and spoon the onion mixture on top, then scatter with the nuts. Finally, squeeze the lemon juice over the dish.
Tips
For a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal, change the hazelnuts to roasted chestnuts, in an Easter menu change it to almonds or pistachios!© 2024 Copyright CookTogether
