Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 Tbs. finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 Tbs. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes; more to taste
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 lb. fresh broccoli, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch florets

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
  2. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add half of the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  3. With a slotted spoon or strainer, transfer the broccoli to a colander, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again.
  4. Repeat with the remaining broccoli. Add the broccoli to the gremolata and toss to combine.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving bowl.
  6. Make Ahead Tips:
  7. You can prep the gremolata ingredients and cook the broccoli up to 3 hours ahead.
  8. Do not mix the gremolata or combine it with the broccoli until just before serving, as the lemon juice will eventually cause the broccoli and parsley to turn a dull green.

Great spices for that broccoli, love the parsely in this too! Added to the "Crazy about greens" and "organic gardening"


I like the chile addition to your gremolata. Great tip at the end. I do a lot of spinach with lemon and garlic. It took me a while to figure out why my spinach was brown by the time I served it. Too much Lemon juice too early....;-) High 5 Michael
