I used to just steam or saute my asparagus and broccoli and that was just fine, but after a while you get tired of the same old, same old. I like to experiment a lot and sometimes good things happen and sometimes bad things happen. This experiment turned out pretty, pretty, pretty good.……
uncooked broccoli tossed with Dijon mustard sauce
I actually make asparagus most often, but this weekend made broccoli and would not have even thought about sharing, but one of our wonderful followers on twitter requested the recipe, so I am finally putting this together. The one problem with my experiments is that I don’t always measure my ingredients, as in, never. This one is pretty simple, however.
Broccoli or Asparagus
Dijon Mustard
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine almost equal parts oil and mustard, with slightly more oil. The amount depends on the amount of vegetables being used. I would estimate 3 TBSP for 1 lb or so of veggies. Just keep in mind, the more Dijon, the more tangy the finish, but unless you have way too much sauce overall, a little too much of the mixture won’t make a difference one way or the other. Using a fork or whisk, whisk together. Pour mixture over veggies in glass pan and toss with tongs until completely coated. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss again. Cook 15 minutes for asparagus and 20 minutes for broccoli.
Roasted Mustard Glazed Broccoli
I am not kidding when I say my children literally fight over the last piece of asparagus in my house. I now have to make 2 pounds at a time. It’s that tasty!
Enjoy your veggies!
**** This simple combo is also great on chicken pieces. It creates a great crispy skin and a simple mid-week meal.****
