Easy Broccoli with Feta Cheese
Description
This straightforward recipe chops broccoli into florets and thinly slices green onions before sautéing them together in olive oil over medium heat. Cooking for about 5 minutes allows the broccoli to cook through while developing a bit of browned color, followed by the addition of green onions for another 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper highlights the natural flavors. Crumbled feta cheese is added just before serving, contributing creamy, tangy notes that contrast with the vegetable’s mild bitterness and olive oil’s richness. This simple side pairs well with a variety of main courses and is quick to prepare.
Ingredients
- 2 broccoli about 1 ½ pounds, large heads
- 2-3 green onions
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 3 tablespoons feta cheese
Instructions
- Chop the broccoli into florets and thinly slice the green onion.
- In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil with the broccoli florets and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the green onions and season with the salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes more, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and browned in spots.
- Add the feta, season with more salt and pepper to taste and serve.
