Curried Broccoli Toasties Recipes

BROCCOLI CURRY

Steps:

• In a large pot (see note 5), heat the oil. Add finely minced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir until the garlic releases its aroma.
• Add curry powder, ginger and stir for a few seconds before adding broth, coconut milk, lentils, broccoli florets and salt and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes.
• Add a drizzle of lemon juice, taste and serve!
• Enjoy with rice or naan bread!

BROCCOLI CURRY

Steps:

• At first, wash the broccoli, cut it into florets, and set it aside.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick pot or saucepan over medium-high temperature. Add chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger and stir it for 3 minutes to soften the mixture.
• Add some curry powder, cumin and cook it until you get fragrant. It will take continuous stirring for about 1 minute.
• Stir in broccoli and mix it with spices. Add coconut milk to make it to a simmer.
• Cover the saucepan and cook it until the broccoli florets are tender and juicy. It will take at least 8 minutes to cook perfectly.
• Serve immediately over rice, or quinoa

CURRIED BROCCOLI & BOILED EGGS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Mix together the spices and oil, then toss with the broccoli and some seasoning on a baking tray. Roast for 12-15 mins until tender.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs and boil for 6-8 mins, depending on how you like them, then immediately rinse under cold water, peel and halve. Toast the bread, then spread with the yogurt. Top each slice with the roasted broccoli and an egg, then scatter over the pomegranate seeds.

BROCCOLI TOASTS WITH MELTY PROVOLONE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain broccoli and pat dry.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch tall-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovies, if using, the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until the anchovies have dissolved and the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally until the broccoli is cooked down and very tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add a tablespoon or two of water, if needed, to help it along. Stir in lemon zest. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
• While the broccoli cooks, heat the broiler. Lay the bread on a large sheet pan and toast until golden, about 1 to 3 minutes a side depending on your oven. (Check often to make sure they don't burn.) Remove from oven and divide the broccoli mixture between the toasts. Scatter each toast with the grated provolone, return to oven and broil until the cheese melts and turns golden in spots, 1 to 3 minutes more. (Again, check often to make sure they don't burn.) Remove from oven and serve slices whole or cut in half.

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI CURRY

Steps:

• Mix cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, salt, and cayenne together in a small bowl for the spice blend.
• Coat chicken breasts generously on both sides with about 1/2 of the spice blend and refrigerate, 2 to 12 hours. Reserve remaining spice blend until needed.
• Cut broccoli florets off the stems. Slice the stems into strips, and then into 1/4-inch cubes, and reserve. Cut the florets into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown well, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer onto a plate and let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
• While chicken cools, add garlic to the pan drippings. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 30 seconds. Stir in the remaining spice blend and toast for 30 seconds. Pour in coconut milk and stir in ketchup, making sure to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium, stir in chicken broth, and let simmer until reduced, about 10 minutes.
• Stir cubed broccoli stems into the sauce and cook until almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch strips, and then into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Increase skillet heat to medium-high and add broccoli florets. Cover and cook until almost tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken, and cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the broccoli is just fully tender, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately. Top with thinly sliced green onions.

CURRIED BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat, then add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened (about 3-5 minutes).
• Add flour, curry powder, and cumin, and cook for about a minute, again stirring.
• Whisk in chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil, whisking until smooth.
• Add broccoli and ground black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Using a slotted spood, remove the vegetables and put them in a blender, along with 1 cup of the liquid. Blend until smooth.
• Return blended mixture to the pot. Stir in the cream and cook for another couple of minutes to heat through, then serve.

CURRIED BROCCOLI TOASTIES

Steps:

• Steam the broccoli for about 7 minutes, or until bright green and soft.
• Sauté the onions in 1 tbsp of oil until translucent. Add the curry powder, and sauté for 1 minute more.
• Combine the broccoli, onions, and veganaise, salt and pepper in a large bowl, stir, and mash until broccoli is well crushed. (Great way to take out your frustrations!).
• Take the filling and assemble four sandwiches. (Be generous with the filling!) Brush one side of each sandwich with olive oil.
• Grill (olive oil side down, duh!) in a frying pan until lightly brown, and brush the other side with oil. Flip and brown the other side.
• Slice each sandwich into quarters and serve!
