Lemon Broccoli

5 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 pound broccoli florets, about 6 cups
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Fill a large saucepan with water to within a few inches of the top. Add 2 teaspoons of the salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the saucepan and plunge into an ice bath to rapidly cool them. Then remove the broccoli from the ice bath and drain.
  2. 2
    Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Brush the cooking grates clean. Preheat a grill pan over direct medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl mix the broccoli, oil, lemon zest, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. 4
    Spread the broccoli on the grill pan in a single layer. Grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the broccoli is warm and just begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. 5
    Remove from the grill and garnish with the cheese. Serve warm.
