Broccoli With Toasted Garlic Crumbs


My dh is threatening to throw away all of my old magazines so i am placing all of the recipes i can find here. This one is from gourmet. I haven't tried this one yet, because i haven't had the panko bread crumbs. I love broccoli and this sounds like a lovely way to serve it...something out of the ordinary! **note: i made this tonight and omg is it good! i made my own breadcrumbs and went for it! it turned out great!! the sliced garlic is a crisp little treat.......yummy goodness!!!

Steps


Put 1 inch of water in a 5-quart wide heavy pot , then put a steamer basket inside pot and bring water to a boil.
Add broccoli and steam , covered until just tender , 8-10 minute.
Meanwhile , cook garlic in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat , stirring occasionally.
Cook until garlic is a pale golden color , about 5 minute.
Stir in breadcrumbs , pepper , and salt , then increase heat to medium and cook , stirring occasionally until crumbs are golden - about 3 minute remove from heat and stir in zest.
Transfer broccoli to crumb mixture in skillet and toss to coat.
