Italian Broccoli Vegetable Dip Recipes

AMAZING BROCCOLI DIP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until it just starts to turn brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cheese slice and cover the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove cover and continue to heat and stir until cheese is fully melted, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Transfer cheese mixture to a large saucepan; add broccoli, condensed soup, almonds, mushroom stems and pieces, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, and garlic juice. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, for at least 15 minutes; do not allow to boil or overheat.

ITALIAN BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse the sliced shallot under cold water and transfer to a large bowl.
• Cut the stalks away from the broccoli heads. Using a knife or vegetable peeler, remove the fibrous outer layer of the stalks so its light green insides emerge; compost or discard the outer layer. Thinly slice the stalks crosswise, then thinly slice the heads into bite-size pieces. (A mix of shapes and sizes adds texture to the salad, so chop up the broccoli a few ways; there's no one right way to go about it.) Transfer to the large bowl as you go, then transfer any loose bits from the cutting board to the bowl.
• Season the broccoli generously with salt and pepper, then add the almonds, pickled peppers, olives, oil, vinegar and provolone. Toss vigorously with a spoon until everything is combined and the broccoli is shiny with oil.
• Taste and adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, oil and vinegar as needed. Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving. The salad improves with age as its flavors meld, and it can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Before serving, bring to room temperature and adjust salt, pepper, oil and vinegar to taste, as flavors change in the fridge.
