Steamed Broccoli with Garlic
Here I present a recipe for Steamed Broccoli with Garlic; fresh broccoli steamed in broth with garlic and butter, you get an awesome side in under 10 minutes 🙂
I had a plan, that plan was a roasted chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots….
(I really dislike cooked carrots)…
Thus the need for a better plan.
Enter broccoli.
Our family loves broccoli!
We usually have it roasted, but now that the weather is warmer in Southern Ontario, I don’t want to use the oven.
Enter Steamed Broccoli with Garlic…
The butter turns caramel-y so you get sweet, salty, decadent broccoli in about 5 minutes.
I call that a win 🙂
This is how you make it
Bring the stock, garlic and butter to boil.
Add in the broccoli pieces and boil on high heat, until the the stock has cooked off and evaporated (this takes about 5 minutes).
Give the pan a shake and then season with pepper, about 8 spins the pepper mill (1/4 tsp).
Taste and adjust seasoning (I found the salt from the butter and stock was enough seasoning).
Serve immediately and enjoy 🙂
