Broccoli with crunchy garlic sourdough crumbs is a delightful and nutritious dish that perfectly combines the earthy flavors of broccoli with the savory crunch of garlic-infused sourdough crumbs. It's a great side dish or a light meal that features the perfect balance of textures and tastes.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bread Crumbs: Start by turning the rye bread into crumbs. You can use a food processor or break them up by hand for a more rustic texture.
- Broccoli: Cut the broccoli into florets and trim the stems. If you like, you can also peel and slice the stems into bite-sized pieces.
- Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Chives: Finely chop the chives.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Add the rye bread crumbs to the skillet and toast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, transfer the crumbs to a plate and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli florets and stems (if using) and blanch them for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Drain the broccoli and immediately plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and keep the vibrant color. Drain well.
- In the same skillet used for toasting the bread crumbs, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the blanched and drained broccoli to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to coat the broccoli evenly.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the garlic-buttered broccoli to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the toasted rye bread crumbs evenly over the top.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the broccoli.
- Garnish with the finely chopped chives.
- Serve immediately while the dish is warm and enjoy the delightful combination of tender broccoli, crunchy crumbs, and savory cheese.
Tips:
- Ensure that the broccoli is cut into even-sized florets to ensure uniform cooking.
- Use day-old sourdough bread for the crumbs, as it will provide a better texture compared to fresh bread.
- Toast the garlic in butter until golden brown to enhance its flavor, but be careful not to burn it as it can turn bitter.
- For extra crunch, consider adding some toasted nuts or seeds to the crumb mixture.
- Finish the dish with a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh, tangy contrast to the rich flavors.
This Broccoli with crunchy garlic sourdough crumbs recipe is both easy to prepare and packed with flavor. The combination of garlic, butter, and feta adds richness, while the sourdough crumbs provide a satisfying crunch. Whether served as a side or enjoyed on its own, this dish is sure to please your taste buds.
