Content: With a slotted spoon, remove the broccoli and immediately plunge into the ice water. Called “shocking”, this will halt the cooking process and keep the broccoli super bright green and still crunchy. When the broccoli is completely cool, drain it from the ice water and pat dry with a paper towel. How long to blanch broccoli: Blanched broccoli florets are ready after 2 to 3 minutes of boiling, depending on how crisp you like your veg. But hurry up and get them in ice water to stop the cooking! Letting them cool down naturally will continue to cook the broccoli, making it overdone. Blanching broccolini: Because broccolini is smaller than broccoli, with finer stems, blanching broccolini doesn’t take a lot of time. Aim for a 1-minute cooking time, at most.
