INGREDIENTS

Broccoli with Sliced Almonds

DIRECTIONS

  • Peel the thickest stems, removing all of the tough, stringy outer surface. Cut into pieces 1/2 - 1 inch long, depending upon the thickness of the stem. Place in a bowl with the florets and add ice water to cover. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 300°F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until just beginning to show color, 5 - 6 minutes. Let cool.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan and set aside.
  • Fill a large pot three-fourths full with water, bring to a rapid boil and add the salt. Drain the broccoli well and plunge it into the boiling water. Bring back to a boil and cook, uncovered, until just tender yet still bright green and crisp, 3 - 5 minutes. Drain well.
  • Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish. Add the toasted almonds and a little nutmeg to the melted butter. Spoon over the broccoli and serve.
