Nothing gourmet about it, but to add to what you already do, once on the plate, add some balsamic glaze. I use Colavita brand which you can order online or maybe at a store, but there are all types of Balsamic Glazes.Hi, any good broccoli recipes out there? All I ever do is steam it and maybe add a little salt & butter, and this gets boring. How else can I cook it and make it tasty?
Big fan of oven roasting. I also add some red pepper flakes.Have you tried oven-roasting your vegetables?? You can google a recipe but basically cut into florets, toss with olive oil, garlic, seasonings and roast at 425 for about 20-25 minutes. Top with shredded parmesan cheese, if you like. Delish.
I have never tried this. Sounds great!Nothing gourmet about it, but to add to what you already do, once on the plate, add some balsamic glaze. I use Colavita brand which you can order online or maybe at a store, but there are all types of Balsamic Glazes.
Low sugar, low calories, high in taste. I put balsamic glaze on oatmeal, chicken, turkey, omelets, grilled veggies, just about on anything. Restaurants use it as an ingredient.
Here is something else which is low effort which I have not yet tried , but I think it should work out if you cut broccoli florets real small. You can add them to Imagine Organic Butternut Squash Soup and slow cook the soup on medium. The florets should soften even if you put them in raw (I think).
You can partially steam the broccoli while in a 10-12" frying pan add olive oil (more is good), lot's of garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Add the part boiled broccoli and sauté with oil and garlic mixture. Boil any short style pasta. Drain water, reserve a cup of that starchy water, add pasta to broccoli, garlic and oil and toss...more olive oil is good here, if you see the pasta and broccoli mixture getting "dry" add some of that reserved pasta water until you get a nice sauce. Plate it and top with parmesan cheese. Note: get the real Parmigiano Reggiano chunk and grate it yourself on top of that pasta...you and your guests will be glad you did. If you do try and like it, try it with different shape pastas.Hi, any good broccoli recipes out there? All I ever do is steam it and maybe add a little salt & butter, and this gets boring.

Thanks for sharing this recipe - it is my favorite dish at a restaurant in Saratoga. We tried to replicate it, and failed. I'll try this version!You can partially steam the broccoli while in a 10-12" frying pan add olive oil (more is good), lot's of garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

+1. Any vegetable tastes great roasted. The only advice I'd add to this post is that I prefer it once it just about starts to char.Have you tried oven-roasting your vegetables??

That's how we prepare it. 20-25 minutes is too long though. 13-15 minutes at 450 is perfect. Way better than steamed.Have you tried oven-roasting your vegetables??
