Gourmet | June 2004 Ingredients:
1 large egg |
1 1/2 lbs broccoli, heads cut into 2-inch-long florets (about 1 inch wide) |
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 garlic clove, smashed |
1/2 cup olive oil |
3 slices rye bread or 3 slices firm white bread, crusts removed and bread cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
Directions:
1. Cover egg with cold water by 1 inch in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a rolling boil, partially covered. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 15 minutes. Transfer egg with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water and let stand 5 minutes.
2. While egg is cooking, steam broccoli in a steamer set over boiling water, covered, until just tender, 2 to 4 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
3. Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then discard garlic, reserving oil.
5. Add bread to oil and cook, turning, until golden. Transfer croutons with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving oil.
6. Peel egg and force through a medium-mesh sieve using back of a spoon, then add to broccoli.
7. Add 3 tablespoons hot oil to vinegar mixture, whisking until emulsified, then add to broccoli along with croutons and toss to combine.
