Grilled Broccoli Recipe That Works!

by mom on August 4, 2011

Tried this recipe tonight with grilled pork chops cut 1 inch thick. Delicious; even my 5 year old enjoyed the broccoli and asked for more! I also found out what that groovy little pan with the holes on the side was that I had in my kitchen for years! Thanks to Taste of Home for the following grilled broccoli recipe and the pan knowledge!!!

 Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh broccoli spears
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Shaved Parmesan cheese and purple basil leaves, optional

Directions

  • Place broccoli in a large bowl. Combine the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper; drizzle over broccoli and toss to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Toss broccoli, then drain marinade. Place cheese in a large resealable plastic bag. Add broccoli, a few pieces at a time, shake to coat.
  • Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat using a drip pan. Place broccoli over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender. If desired, garnish with shaved Parmesan and fresh basil. Yield: 6 servings.
