Broccoli with Orange-Chile Oil

 

2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest

1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

1/3 cup vegetable oil

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/8 teaspoon five-spice powder (optional)

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

salt and freshly ground pepper

2, 1 1/2-pound heads of broccoli, stalks peeled, heads cut lengthwise into large

pieces

 

In a heatproof bowl, combine the orange zest and sesame oil. In a saucepan,

heat the vegetable oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring,

until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, crushed red pepper and

five-spice powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the orange

juice and boil over moderately high heat until reduced by half, about 4 minutes.

Stir the orange juice mixture into the zest and season with salt and pepper.

In a saucepan, steam the broccoli until just tender, about 8 minutes.

Transfer the steamed broccoli to a warmed platter, spoon the orange-chile oil on

top and serve.

Makes 4 servings.
