Garlicky Breadcrumb-Coated Broccoli
- 3 large broccoli stalks (about 1 1/2 pounds total), stalks trimmed to 4 to 5 inches long, each stalk halved lengthwise
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 3 small garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
- Steam broccoli until tender, about 9 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and saute until soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add breadcrumbs, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until pale golden, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in mint and lemon peel.
- Add broccoli to breadcrumbs and saute until heated through, turning broccoli to coat, about 3 minutes. Arrange broccoli on platter. Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumbs over and serve.
