I LOVE broccoli. LOVE it. I cook it almost every night, it is so delicious and good for you. I watched a show on Food Network last night, something about comfort food with Guy Fieri and the winner would get $25,000. A former SWAT officer from California won the prize with his mac & cheese and his tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich (sorry, I don't know the name of the show). So, that got me thinking about comfort food and I made 3 heads of broccoli tonight. We had it with lentils. YUM! Just the kind of grub one needs on a cold night like this.
So, here's my broccoli before cooking (and please ignore my dirty stovetop! eek!):
And here it is all steamed up:
While steaming I sauteed 4 cloves of garlic (sliced into large pieces) and a couple of pinches of red pepper flakes in lots of olive oil. I then transferred the broccoli and some of the water into a large bowl and added the oil/garlic mix.
When the king arrived home from work I ladled some lentils into a bowl and added one of the heads of broccoli. He said, "mmmmmmmmmmm."
Try it, you'll like it!
