Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry. Cut them into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Quickly transfer the blanched broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. After 2 minutes, drain the broccoli and set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
Add the drained broccoli to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly with the garlic and olive oil. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the truffle oil over the broccoli and toss gently to combine.
Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli for an extra layer of flavor.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving platter or bowl and serve warm as a side dish. Enjoy!
