My husband likes steamed broccoli but I think it needs a little help. This dish we both liked, and you might was well. It is really easy and comes together quickly. I buy pistachios already shelled from Costco, and they are dreamy roasted with a little maple syrup and salt. I like the texture they add to the broccoli.
Recipe: Broccoli with Pralined Pistachios and Tahini Dressing
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
1 large bunch of broccoli, chopped into florets
for the nuts:
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1 tablespoon maple syrup
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
for the dressing:
2 tablespoons of tahini
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 Tablespoon olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Toss the nuts with the maple syrup and season with ample salt and pepper. Place the nuts on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and put them in the oven for about 8 minutes, until deliciously fragrant. Take them out and let cool a couple minutes while you steam the broccoli until it is bright green. Meanwhile whisk the dressing together.
Place the steamed broccoli on a platter, drizzle with the dressing, and sprinkle on the pistachios. This recipe serves two as shown below, or four if you have more than one side dish.
Enjoy!
