A farm favorite!
1 bunch Sprouting Broccoli
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4c golden raisins
ricotta cheese (approx. 2/3c. - 1c.)
parmesan cheese
salt to taste
2 large or 4 small slices of your favorite whole wheat artisan bread
Preheat the broiler for toasting the bread.
Coarsely cut the sprouting broccoli into slender 1/4-inch long pieces
In a fry pan or skillet over medium heat, warm 3 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli, and increase the heat to medium high as the broccoli begins to wilt. Cook until tender, 4 to 10 minutes. Add raisins in the final few minutes of cooking. If the pan seems too dry, add a splash of water. Remove from the heat and season with salt to taste.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush the slices with olive oil if. Broil until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Spread ricotta on slices (about 1/4c. for smaller slices and 1/3c. for larger slices) and top with the broccoli. Grate parmesan and serve immediately.
