step by step
Method
- Step 1
Boil the broccoli
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Drop the broccoli into the boiling water.
- Step 2
Build the garlic and oil base
- Pour a good quarter cup of olive oil into the pan, coating the whole bottom — this is the base of the sauce.
- Add the garlic cloves: 3 smashed and 1 minced.
- Add about 1/2 teaspoon of chili pepper and give it a stir.
- Step 3
Stop the garlic from burning
- The second you smell the garlic, shut off the heat and push the pan to the back.
- To prevent the garlic from burning, add a little more cold oil to the pan — it will slow it down.
- Step 4
Add the bread to the water
- Cut up the 2-3 day old stale bread.
- Add it to the boiling water with the broccoli for the last 30 seconds.
- Step 5
Drain
- Shut off the heat.
- Strain the bread and broccoli in the sink.
- Step 6
Combine and mix
- Pour the bread and broccoli into the pan with the garlic oil.
- Mix until everything comes together — the soft broccoli mushes into the bread.
- Step 7
Serve
- Put a big bowl of green onions in the middle of the table.
- Take a bite of the pane cotto and a bite of the onion.
