How to Make Broccoli In Orange Shallot Butter
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 large head of broccoli cut into florets and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp but still bright green.
- Drain the broccoli immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Gently pat dry with paper towels.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup fresh orange juice and 2 finely chopped shallots. Simmer over medium heat until the juice reduces to about 2 tablespoons (approximately 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter and the zest of 1 orange.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Add the cooked broccoli to the saucepan and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
