Steamed Broccoli
Posted by: Jody
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Cleanup Time:
- Fresh broccoli florets (crowns)
- Cut up broccoli into desired sizes.
- Place broccoli into a pot that has a lid.
- Add water until there is about � an inch in the bottom of the
pot. - Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until at desired
consistency. I go for a nice vibrant green color. - Drain and serve (or add to another dish).
First off, the price is about $1.50 per pound, so you can get an
idea from that.
Basically you want to add water for two reasons (which can be
applied to other vegetables). First, you don�t want to burn the
broccoli. Second, you want to steam it, which requires water. The
idea is probably the same if you do it with frozen broccoli, since
there�s ice in with that stuff that will melt. But, it�s not as
good as fresh veggies!
