This broccoli and pecorino gratinata is a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian side dish that celebrates the earthy flavours of seasonal brassicas. By slicing the blanched broccoli into flat pieces and layering them closely, you create a wonderful texture that catches the melted butter and sharp, salty Pecorino Romano cheese. The addition of dried red pepper flakes provides a subtle heat that perfectly balances the richness of the cheese, making it a versatile accompaniment to almost any main course.
Ideal for entertaining, this savoury vegetable gratin can be prepared up to eight hours in advance and kept in the fridge until you are ready to roast. High-temperature baking ensures the cheese forms a golden crust while the broccoli tips become deliciously charred and crisp. Serve this alongside a Sunday roast or as a light supper for a nutritious, flavour-packed addition to your table.

Ingredients for Broccoli-Pecorino Gratinata
2 bunches broccoli (about 1.4kg ), stalks trimmed, tops broken into 2- to 3-inch florets
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into very thin slices plus more for dish
1/4 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper
Coarse sea salt (preferably gray crystals)
Freshly ground black pepper
80g freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese (1 1/2 to 60g )
How to make Broccoli-Pecorino Gratinata
Cook broccoli in boiling salted water until crisp-tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut florets lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Coat large oval gratin or 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with butter. Arrange broccoli slices, overlapping snugly, in rows in dish. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Dot with 60g butter, then sprinkle with cheese. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
Preheat oven to 218°C. Bake gratinata uncovered until cheese is melted and broccoli tops brown, about 20 minutes.
