Steamed Broccoli

by Jody

Ingredients

  • Fresh broccoli florets (crowns)

Directions

  1. Cut up broccoli into desired sizes.
  2. Place broccoli into a pot that has a lid.
  3. Add water until there is about � an inch in the bottom of the pot.
  4. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until at desired consistency. I go for a nice vibrant green color.
  5. Drain and serve (or add to another dish).

Comments

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!
