Serves
10-12 as side dish

1 1/2 lbs broccoli

Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 3 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 medium garlic clove, peeled
  • 1 piece fresh ginger root, 1 inch, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cups walnuts, toasted, chopped
  • 2 medium scallions, thinly sliced
Methods/steps
  1. Wash broccoli. Place the florets upside down on a cutting board. Using a large knife, cut off the florets close to their heads. Stand each stalk up, and square it with a knife, removing 1/8 inch of the stalk skin. Cut the remaining stalk in half length wise, then into bite sized pieces.
  2. Fit a wide sauce pan with your steamer basket. Pour in water, enough that it doesn't touch the bottom of your basket. Over high heat, boil water, add broccoli to the basket, cover and steam for 4 1/2 to 5 minutes, until just tender.
  3. Place all the dressing ingredients, except for broccoli, walnuts, and scallions into a food processor. Process until smooth.
  4. Place the broccoli into a serving bowl, toss the dressing ingredients in, with the walnuts and scallions. Can be served warm or room temp.
