Reviews
I subbed riced cauliflower since I couldn’t find broccoli. I would up the garlic and leave out the red pepper next time.
I really appreciate this recipe. It really allows you to stretch your broccoli and use all of it. As others have said, this is a great jumping off point. I used half butter, half olive oil, sautéed the garlic and pepperoncino first,I also added a small anchovy to this step, because I really like the umami flavor they add. Then added the broccoli. I finished it as the recipe states with the lemon and parmesan. I may have added some extra lemon juice from the lemon I zested. So bright! So yummy!
Easy to make and delicious!
I’ve been making this since Katie made it on the show. It’s just perfect. Easy and delicious. I made it again tonight. Only suggestion I have is to double the recipe. I could eat all of it with a slice of good bread for dinner!
Exceptionally bland. Needs a lot more red chili flake, S&P, lemon zest (I added the juice) and parmesan cheese than the recipe calls for. Taste as you go to get it “just right.”
Excellent recipe! I bought the broccoli rice already ready to go from Trader Joe’s. The parmesan on top at the end is key!
This is soooooooo good! It took minutes to make and has a ton of flavor. The chili flakes and lemon zest make it!!!! Super excited to make this as a side at my next dinner party. I had to stop eating it for a minute to write this review right away…going back for more bites now.
