A festive and healthy appetizer featuring tender broccoli florets coated in a crunchy pistachio crust, grilled to perfection, and drizzled with a tangy-sweet cranberry sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix chopped pistachios, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each broccoli floret into beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the pistachio mixture. Thread 3-4 florets onto each skewer.
- Brush skewers lightly with olive oil and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until broccoli is tender and crust is golden.
- While grilling, combine cranberries, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until cranberries burst and sauce thickens. Let cool slightly.
- Drizzle cranberry sauce over grilled skewers before serving.
