Broccoli with Smoked Paprika and Toasted Garlic Breadcrumbs

In this texture-packed dish, a combination of browned garlic, smoky paprika and crisp breadcrumbs—inspired by the Catalan sauce picada—enhances skillet-cooked broccoli. After being seared in a hot pan, the broccoli is combined with water, quickly covered and steamed until tender-crisp. Added just before serving, a good dose of fresh thyme and a splash of woodsy-sweet sherry vinegar bring bright, fresh notes.
