Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
- 1 bowl Ice
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly and trim it into bite-sized florets. Peel the tough outer skin of the stalks and slice the stalks into thin rounds.
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium pot with a steaming basket or colander placed inside. Add the broccoli to the basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and just tender.
While the broccoli is steaming, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and ice cubes. Once the broccoli is done cooking, immediately transfer the florets to the ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the mustard vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic (finely chopped or grated), salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Place the steamed and cooled broccoli into a serving bowl. Drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the top and toss gently to coat the broccoli evenly.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a cold and refreshing option.
