Jade Green Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In your cast iron skillet, caramelize the onion in the bacon grease. Meanwhile, stack and roll a handful of leaves, cut lengthwise once and then chop (1/2") crosswise.
• 2. Remove the onion to the side, dump all of your leaves into the skillet, stir until they begin to wilt, reduce heat, add 1/2-3/4 C of water and cover. Stir every two to three minutes. When they are tender enough for your liking, add the garlic, onion and steak seasoning (here in SET, we use TexJoy). Remove from heat.

Steps:

• Heat the water for your pasta while you prepare the broccoli.
• In a shallow, 10-inch saute pot, heat the 1 cup olive oil over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the broccoli to the oil and season it with salt. Saute the broccoli for about 4 minutes, or until it takes on a toasty color. The broccoli will absorb a lot of the oil, so if you find your pot getting dry, just add a little more oil to it. Throw in the garlic and cook for about another minute, until it's slightly brown. Don't burn the garlic! Take the broccoli off the heat and set it aside.
• Prepare the penne according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and toss it in the pot with the broccoli, garlic, and olive oil. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more oil.
• Toss in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stir, and garnish with the parsley.

Steps:

• Cut broccoli up into florets. Slice stems.
• Bring a pot of salted water to boiling. Blanch the broccoli for about 2 minutes but no longer than 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to drain.
• Heat the corn oil in a wok on medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sautè for about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn! (Reduce heat if necessary.).
• Add the drained broccoli, black pepper and water chestnuts to the wok. Stir fry 1-2 minutes.
• In a small glass bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil. Add to the broccoli.
• Add the gin, cover wok and cook 1 minute.
• Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
