There are few simpler, or more delicious, ways to prepare broccoli. The broccoli is steamed in a large steamer basket and tossed with sweet wilted onions, blue cheese, and mint.
Serves 6
2 large heads broccoli (crowns only)
2 large red onions
¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
²⁄3 cup mint leaves, coarsely chopped
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fit with a steamer basket. Cut broccoli into large pieces and place in steamer. Cover and steam until tender but still bright green, 10 to 12 minutes.
Peel onions and cut in half through root end. Place cut-side down on a cutting board.
Cut into thin slices, again through root end. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and cook over high heat until onions are soft and some are dark brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
Transfer broccoli to a large bowl. Add onions, blue cheese, and mint. Toss, adding salt, freshly ground pepper, and additional olive oil if necessary. Serve immediately.
