Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.
While the onions cook, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine, cooking for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss gently to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
Serve the Broccoli and Onion Deluxe warm as a side dish or alongside your favorite protein. Enjoy!
