Broccoli With Walnut Romesco Sauce Recipes

WALNUT ROMESCO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, whiz up all the romesco ingredients until thoroughly combined, but still slightly chunky. This can be made up and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance.

ROASTED BROCCOLI AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the broccoli to a large, rimmed sheet tray along with the walnuts, red pepper flakes and garlic, and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until the stems are tender-crisp and lightly golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH HAZELNUT ROMESCO

Steps:

• Heat the broiler. Arrange an oven rack in the position closest to flame. Place peppers (cut side down), tomato halves (cut-side up) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until peppers and garlic are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn garlic (but do not turn peppers or tomato); broil 1 to 2 minutes longer until garlic is well browned but not burned. Transfer garlic to a large bowl. Continue broiling peppers and tomatoes until both are well charred, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer tomato and peppers to the bowl with the garlic. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand until vegetables are cool enough to handle but still warm, then peel peppers and tomatoes.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse hazelnuts until coarsely ground. Add peppers, tomato, garlic, breadcrumbs, oil, vinegar, pomegranate molasses, paprika and salt. Purée until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Scrape romesco into a bowl.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a large bowl of ice water. Boil broccoli until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to ice water; drain.
• In a large bowl, toss broccoli with enough romesco to coat vegetables well. (Reserve any remaining romesco for dipping or for another use.) Garnish with hazelnuts and serve warm or at room temperature.

BROCCOLI WITH PARMESAN AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add broccoli and cook until broccoli begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is crisp-tender and garlic begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a serving bowl. Toss with lemon zest and lemon juice, Parmesan, and walnuts. Serve warm or at room temperature.
