Asparagus cabbage is becoming more and more popular in our country; people have already learned to cook so many dishes from it that they can fill the entire table.
A subspecies of Italian cauliflower, it can be cooked in many different ways: fried, steamed, boiled, cut into salads, but today we will try to figure out how to stew broccoli in a frying pan?
This activity does not belong to the category of complex culinary actions, however, cooking has its own characteristics, which we will consider in the recipes below.
Ingredients
- Asparagus cabbage - 500 g;
- Spice mixture - 1-2 pinch;
- Garlic - 3-4 cloves + 1/2 clove for sauce;
- Vegetable oil - 4 tbsp. for frying + 1 tbsp. for the sauce;
- Tomato paste - 2-3 tbsp.
Cooking broccoli with spices in a frying pan
A great idea would be to prepare asparagus cabbage with fragrant garlic and equally aromatic “herbes de Provence.” This combination allows you to get an excellent snack that can be served with potatoes, porridge, eaten with sauce or put in a salad.
Fried broccoli is less watery than boiled broccoli, and besides, it is crispy and rosy, which is hard not to like.
Prepare and fry asparagus cabbage in a frying pan
- We wash fresh broccoli, separate it into florets, and dry it with napkins.
- Peel the garlic, chop it finely, then fry it in a frying pan in hot vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes. During this time, the garlic will “give” its aroma to the oil, in which we will then stew the disassembled broccoli florets.
- Remove the garlic from the pan and place cabbage in the container instead.
If you like soft inflorescences, add 2 tbsp to the pan before stewing. water and cover it with a lid.
- Simmer the broccoli for 5 minutes (no matter what you want: soft or crunchy florets) and do not forget to constantly stir the cabbage.
Preparing the sauce for stewed broccoli
Serve stewed broccoli with a sauce made from water and tomato paste.
- To prepare it, mix 100 ml of water, a spoonful of vegetable oil, a couple of spoons of tomato paste, chopped garlic and a small pinch of aromatic spices.
- Mix everything thoroughly and serve the sauce with cabbage inflorescences fried in a frying pan.
In addition to stewing in oil, you can fry broccoli in sour cream. A delicate creamy flavor will make asparagus cabbage even tastier, juicier and more appetizing. Everyone will want to enjoy this dish: from young to old.
Ingredients
- Asparagus cabbage – 500 g;
- Salt – 1 tsp;
- Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp;
- Sour cream – 100 g.
- We rinse the broccoli under running water, then separate them into inflorescences.
- Heat the frying pan over medium heat, pour in vegetable oil and water (1 glass, 250 ml volume) and simmer the product for 20 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Salt the cabbage to taste, pour sour cream over it, and simmer over medium heat under the lid for another 5 minutes.
If you like the flavor of garlic, you can also add it to this recipe. Garlic is usually added to the hot pan before the cauliflower so it has time to flavor the oil.
You are unlikely to fill yourself up with broccoli alone and feed hungry guests. Therefore, you need to serve fried asparagus cabbage only with a side dish. But to save time on its preparation, fry the broccoli immediately with vegetables, potatoes or meat.
Such a dish will always look spicy, beautiful, and the taste and benefits of the snack will beat all ratings of the best homemade dishes.

Step 1: Prepare the broccoli.
One variety of cauliflower is broccoli. It is not only tasty, but also healthy, as it contains a large amount of vitamins and microelements. It is often sold frozen in supermarkets. But it’s better, of course, to use fresh broccoli to prepare our dish. Before we prepare our ingredient, we thoroughly rinse the vegetable under cold running water.
Then place the cabbage on a cutting board and use a knife to separate it into florets. 
Place a saucepan of cool water over medium heat, add a pinch of salt and bring the liquid to a boil. When the water boils, transfer the broccoli to a container with boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes without covering the pan with a lid. Attention: Under no circumstances should cabbage be overcooked, otherwise our vegetable ingredient will lose not only its beneficial properties, but will become completely tasteless and soft. 
Then turn off the heat, and place the pan with the prepared vegetable in a colander and lightly rinse it again under cold water so that the broccoli cools quickly. 
When the water has completely drained, transfer the broccoli to an empty plate. And by the way, if you have a steamer, then it is better to cook our vegetable ingredient in it, since the process of steaming cabbage is much better than boiling it in boiling water. Step 2: prepare the cheese.
Take an empty plate and grate the cheese onto it using a medium grater. This should be done directly above the plate so that the cheese ingredient does not fall on the table. Attention: since cheese shavings tend to dry out quickly, so we can cover the plate with the ingredient with a lid or wrap it with cling film. Step 3: prepare the sauce.
Take a clean bowl and use a measuring cup to pour the sour cream into it. Then manually add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to the same container with sour cream. And using a teaspoon, transfer dried parsley and dried tomatoes into a bowl with the liquid ingredient and spices. Using a tablespoon, mix all ingredients well. 
After this, we transfer the cheese shavings from the plate into a bowl with our ingredients. Using a tablespoon again, thoroughly mix our sauce again until a homogeneous sour cream and cheese mixture is formed. Step 4: cook broccoli with sour cream and cheese sauce.
We take a baking dish and manually transfer the boiled broccoli, having previously greased the bottom of the dish with butter so that our dish does not burn during cooking. Then, using a tablespoon, pour the sauce from the bowl into the mold and, using the same cutlery, evenly distribute our liquid ingredient over the entire surface of the vegetable layer. Preheat the oven to temperature 180°С and using oven mitts, place the pan with broccoli with sour cream and cheese sauce in the oven cabinet for 10-15 minutes. When the dish is slightly browned, set the thermometer needle in the oven at 240°С in grill mode and bake another 5-7 minutes. Then turn off the oven, take out the pan and set it aside. Step 5: Serve broccoli with sour cream and cheese sauce.
Transfer the hot broccoli with sour cream and cheese sauce into a deep dish and serve. Before serving, we can decorate the dish with finely chopped fresh herbs - dill, parsley or green onions. This amazingly tender, aromatic dish can be a delicious side dish for rice, mashed potatoes or a salad of fresh vegetables. In addition, broccoli with sour cream and cheese sauce can be served as an independent dish. The main thing is that in any serving options, this dish will always be healthy, nutritious and tasty. Enjoy your meal! - – If you decide to cook a dish from frozen broccoli (they are often sold in this form in supermarkets), then you need to cook them for 14 minutes, but no more. But it is very important to leave the cabbage aside to cool on its own to room temperature. Never defrost vegetables using a microwave or running hot water, as broccoli may lose its beneficial properties.
- – Of course, it is better to buy fresh broccoli, since their content of nutrients will be higher than frozen.
- – When choosing fresh cabbage, pay attention to the quality of the vegetable, namely: broccoli inflorescences should be small, smell like fresh herbs, elastic to the touch and bright green in color.
- – Fresh broccoli can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. But it is better to use fresh cabbage immediately after purchase.
- – To prepare the sauce, it is better to use homemade sour cream or sour cream with 25% fat content so that it is not too liquid in consistency.
- – You can also use any hard cheese to prepare the sauce. I recommend Dutch or Italian hard cheeses: bra, grana padano, provolone or pecorino. All these cheeses have a unique taste and aroma, and will also perfectly complement our vegetable casserole with these qualities.
- – To prepare broccoli with sour cream and cheese sauce, you can use other spices you like.
- You can replace dried tomatoes with a small amount of tomato paste.
Broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables. It is very similar to cauliflower. Externally, they are distinguishable only, perhaps, by color. Here's how to cook broccoli in sour cream and garlic.
- Broccoli 800 grams
- Sour cream 250 grams
- Green onions 3 pieces
- Dill 1 bunch
- Spinach 1 bunch
- Garlic 8 cloves
- Lemon 1 piece
- Eggs 2 pieces
- Salt, pepper, spices To taste
- Parsley To taste
Let's take broccoli. It should be fresh and dense. We wash it under running water. Divide into inflorescences. As you understand, the fresher the vegetables, the tastier the dish. Frozen, of course, also works well. But I doubt their usefulness. They're kind of watery.
Wash the spinach leaves. I also buy it fresh. I want to eat vegetables with the most vitamins. Separate the leaves and put them in a blender. Add a spoonful of sour cream there. Salt and pepper. Grind into sauce.
Wash green onions and dill. If you have other greens, put them in, don't be afraid! There is never too much greenery. Chop everything finely. We will have some of this greenery to decorate the dish. Press the garlic in a garlic press.
Place crushed garlic, chopped onion and dill in a bowl. We drive the eggs in there. Pour 250 grams of sour cream from a jar. Transfer chopped spinach with spices from a blender. Mix everything thoroughly.
Place the broccoli in a mold with high sides. Pour the sour cream and garlic mixture over everything. Place in the oven to simmer for 40 minutes at 160 degrees. After the time has passed, we take out the dish. Transfer to a plate and garnish with parsley sprigs. Bon appetit!
Have you purchased fresh broccoli and are wondering what to cook with it? Stew, soup, sauté - has all this already been on your table? Then try baked broccoli in sour cream, with cheese and eggs in the oven - a delicious and very simple quick recipe. Even inexperienced housewives can do it.
Cabbage inflorescences in a delicate creamy soufflé under a golden cheese crust will please everyone without exception. And serve fresh vegetables and herbs as a side dish.
Ingredients for 3-4 servings:
300 g broccoli
200 g sour cream 15%
100 g cheese (Russian)
Ground white pepper
Vegetable oil
The weight of broccoli for this casserole is calculated without taking into account the long stalks with which cabbage is often sold in stores. They need to be cut off immediately.
Recipe for cooking broccoli in egg and sour cream sauce:
Rinse the cabbage under running water. Cut off the bottom of the broccoli until it begins to break apart into individual florets. It is better not to eat the stalk, as it may contain nitrates. If you are not afraid of this, boil it and puree it along with other vegetables for puree soup.
Tear off small leaves and remove any dark spots that appear if the cabbage has already been sitting on the counter. Between the florets, the edges of the broccoli may turn white, there is nothing wrong with that.
Grease the pan with vegetable oil (you can replace it with butter, it will be even tastier) and place the broccoli quite tightly on the bottom in one layer. The size of this baking dish is 20x16 cm.
Beat the eggs in a bowl with a mixer.
Add sour cream, grated cheese, salt to taste and a couple of pinches of ground white pepper for flavor. You can use any other spices you like.
Stir the mixture with a spoon and place evenly on top of the broccoli, “covering” each floret.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place the casserole dish in it for half an hour. After 15-20 minutes, check the dish, if it has already acquired a golden brown crust, cover it with foil and cook until the specified time has elapsed. When lifting the foil, be aware that very hot steam comes out of the hole, so be careful not to burn your hands; it is better to do this with a knife or other long object.
