Broccoli Or Cauliflower With A Soy Lemon Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Put lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, finely chopped spring onion, salt and pepper in a small jar, shake well. Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into florets. Steam the vegetables for about 5 minutes. Rinse in cold water. (This stops the cooking process.) Drain well. Place vegetables in a large bowl; shake the jar of dressing again. Pour vinaigrette over top, toss, serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, peel the tough skin from the broccoli stems and cut away the stem ends.
• Cut off the florets and cut the peeled stems on the diagonal into 1 1/2-inch thick sections.
• Separate the larger florets so that all are approximately the same size.
• If cooking cauliflower, remove any leaves and break or cut into florets, about 1 1/2 inches wide.
• Arrange the broccoli or cauliflower in a steamer tray, or on a plate set on a rack.
• Fill a wok or pot with several inches of water and heat to boiling.
• Place the vegetable over the boiling water and steam 6-8 minutes, or until tender.
• I like my veggies crisp tender so I steam mine just a few minutes.
• Steam them till they're the way you like, check after 3-4 minutes.
• Drain any water from the broccoli or cauliflower.
• Put the vegetable in a serving bowl, add the dressing, toss lightly and serve.

Steps:

• Combine broccoli, cauliflower, olive oil, lemon-pepper, seasoned salt, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl; stir well. Spread out evenly on a baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roast in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Stir and roast until tender, about 12 minutes more.

Steps:

• Blend butter, mustard and lemon juice together.
• Steam broccoli and cauliflower, covered, until tender (about 5 to 6 minutes) Drain vegetables, return to hot saucepan and toss to evaporate any excess moisture Season with salt and pepper.
• Add mustard butter.
• Toss to coat well and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Plunge the vegetable into the boiling water and cook until fairly tender, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water or run under cold water. Drain again.
• Put 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the drained vegetable and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring only when necessary-you don't want the broccoli to fall apart-until the vegetable begins to brown; add the lemon zest and cook for another minute or two.
• Add the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Alternative method
• Skip step 1. In step 2, start with 1/4 cup olive oil (and, if you like, add a dried chile). Thirty seconds after adding the garlic, add the broccoli or cauliflower and 1/4 cup water. Cover the pan. Cook, uncovering and stirring occasionally, until the vegetable is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve.
