Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 l Water
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 1 liter of water and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Prepare a large bowl of ice water for blanching the broccoli.
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets if not already prepared. Once the water is boiling, add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Immediately remove the broccoli from the boiling water using a slotted spoon or strainer and transfer it to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let the broccoli cool for 2 minutes, then drain well and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.
Place the cooled and drained broccoli in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the broccoli and toss gently to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the broccoli for a fresh garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately as a warm dish or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes if you prefer it cold. Enjoy your Broccoli Vinaigrette Numero Uno!
