Content: Once you have your florets cut, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. While you wait for the water to boil, make another bowl filled with ice and cold water. Keep this nearby! Carefully lower the broccoli florets into the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the size of your floret. The broccoli should be bright green and just barely tender. 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.
