Equally good subbed with other varieties of broccoli: broccoflower, romanesco or broccolini. From Vegetarian Times November/December 2005 issue. I'd be willing to try this with white balsamic for a change of pace.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, minced (approximately 1/3 cup)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 bunches broccoli florets, chopped (about 6 cups )
2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 oranges, zest of
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
freshly cracked black pepper
Directions:
1. In large sauté pan, sauté olive oil, garlic, shallots and red pepper flakes over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes, just until garlic and shallots are soft, being careful not to burn!
2. Add the chopped broccoli to pan and sauté 1 minute. Add the orange juice, vinegar and salt. Cover pan, and steam for 3-4 minutes ONLY until broccoli is tender. Do not overcook. The broccoli once cooked, should be firm-tender and very green.
3. Stir in orange zest and toasted sesame oil. Serve immediately. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
