Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 80 grams sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 50 grams pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
While waiting for the water to boil, trim the broccoli into bite-sized florets and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Once the water is boiling, add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In the same skillet used for toasting the pine nuts, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and slice them into thin strips. Add them to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine, cooking just until heated through.
Season the mixture with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then toss well to coat.
Transfer the broccoli mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
