FFwD - Garlicky crumb-coated broccoli

 


When I saw this week's French Friday with Dorie recipe - Garlicky crumb-coated broccoli - I can't say that I was enthused.  Broccoli with garlic and breadcrumbs - so what, I thought.
Man, I under-estimated  this dish.  It is simple, but it is good!  You saute steamed broccoli with breadcrumbs and garlic, and it tastes AMAZING!

To check out what everyone else thought of this dish, visit the LYL section of the FFwD website.

    Oh, rats, I was hoping you would not like this as I am waffling on making it...I keep thinking it is a horrible thing to do with my favorite of favorites, steamed broccoli. Really? Really? Well, okay...maybe. Maybe. If you say so.

    This is a good way to 'lighten up' a broccoli dish.

    Glad you enjoyed. I must say, it was not simple to come up with a lot to say about broccoli :-) This one was definitely more a test of my mental prowess than of my cooking abilities.

    Ok, this is definitely going to be part of dinner tomorrow. My whiny boy might actually put a bite in his mouth and not whine or complain. Maybe.

    I can well believe this is an excellent dish - I have a similar recipe I love - but it also has melting brie in it - makes broccoli decdadent

    I must admit that I underestimated this dish as well. I was expecting another green bean and pancetta disappointment. But, I was so wrong! Glad you enjoyed them!

    This recipe is a keeper! I can't wait to try the breadcrumbs with other veggies.

    I totally agree. Let's here it for broccoli- the unsung hero of the veggie world.

    Yes, this recipe exceeded my expectations...takes simple broccoli, which I love all by itself, to a higher level.

    This was really good! I gotta try using breadcrumbs next time. I cant have bread now so I made my own nut crumbs :)

    I am with you - didn't think this would be bad at all, just not that amazing. Boy was I wrong. Nana and I both found this to be amazing. This will be a frequent repeat in our households.

    I was underwhelmed by the idea of it, but was surprised at how much flavour it had. Now I just need to get a zester or microplaner. Then it'll be even easier.
