Broccoli Everyone Will Love

Submitted by: SP_STEPF

Introduction

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, but not everyone agrees with me. To convert people, I like to serve this simple recipe. Garlic sauteed in olive oil offers a sweet richness, and the lemon juice offers a nice tang.
If you are using fresh broccoli, peel the stalks and dice them before adding to the cooking water. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, but not everyone agrees with me.

    I love broccoli, too - so it'll be nice to try it slightly differently!
    Like Frenchtosd, I feel the calories are a bit on the high side - but I think you have included the calories for the full amount of the olive oil, whereas that'd probably be at least partially drained for serving.

    I already do this. I love broccoli. I can't eat a lot of green vegetables due to food allergies but the ones I can eat I eat all the time. I have even found a few that I would not have tried before my allergy became an issue - 5/12/10

    Thank you. A nice way to add variety. Since I am the only one who eats it, I usually eat it raw or steamed with nothing added and still love it, but this is a nice twist when I have a few minutes. - 1/10/10
