A really tasty side dish! I love garlic and pine nuts, and broccoli too, so this is a winner with me! This recipe comes from Anna Teresa Callen, an Italian cook.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup pine nuts
2 garlic cloves
2 bunches broccoli
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions

1
In a small dry skillet, toast the pine nuts, stirring constantly to brown evenly. Don't burn!
2
Chop the garlic fine. Set aside.
3
Separate the broccoli into florets. Peel the skinnier stems and cut into cubes (or reserve the stems for cream of broccoli soup).
4
In a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water, blanch the broccoli for about 8 minutes, until it is crisp-tender and still bright green.
5
Drain thoroughly in a colander.
6
In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and let it soften for a few minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
7
Then add the broccoli and pine nuts to the pan. Toss carefully to coat everything well with the garlicky oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Turn into a warmed serving bowl and serve at once. Enjoy!

This was great! We loved the flavors in this simple dish (the texture... not so much; we'll do like MA HIKER next time, and blanch the broccoli for about 3 minutes, since we prefer our veggies much firmer). We absolutely love broccoli as well as garlic, so this was a great way to enjoy both AND to use up the pine nuts that have been taking up space in our cupboard. Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love this! I usually just steam broccoli and it's boring. This is so nice! What flavor. I only blanched my broccoli for about 3-4 mintues - we like a lot of crunch. And I didn't have time to chop up the stems (plus I bought broccoli crowns at the store). And when I buy pine nuts, I toast the whole container and keep them in the freezer for ready use, so mine were already toasted. Very much yum on this recipe, will make again & again!! Thanks!

I microwaved the broccoli for 4 minutes meanwhile I sauteed the garlic and pine nuts in the oil then add the broccoli. Thanks Sharon!

I made a vegan meal for one of my friends and I made this recipe. It's quite tasty, delicious, and so easy to make! I'm going to make it again tonight as a veggie side to my meal!
