I'm always looking for quick and easy side dishes to add along with dinner. I found this one from Cooking Light and figured I'd give it a go! Only change I made was to add some sesame seeds into the mix.
The flavors weren't as intense as I thought they would be... 3 cloves of garlic and red pepper flakes?? I think steaming them at the end somehow lessened the intensity. Next time I'll add even more garlic and pepper flakes :)
I haaaate veggies. But sometimes I can eat them. ;)
ReplyDeleteBroccoli is well loved in our house. It is my daughters favourite vegetable. When she was little she called it 'trees'.
ReplyDeleteI love vegetables but my husband (another John!) will only eat green beans and canned spinach. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the Cooking Light link and found this - "Asparagus Ribbons with Lemon and Goat Cheese" It looks amazing! I need to try that and the broccoli asap
I love veggies, and I'm always looking for new ways to cook them to add some variety. This sounds like a great new option!
ReplyDeleteBroccoli is my favorite veg, but I'm a picky veg eater. The hubby on the other hand is an equal opportunity veggie lover.
ReplyDeleteI used to hate veggies as a kid. I pretty much only ate carrots. Now? Love em! B is also for brussel sprouts. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE broccoli!! Always looking for new ways to prepare it! yum!
ReplyDeleteI love vegetables! *proud* It was the word 'broccoli' in your blog title that made me click through, haha.
ReplyDeleteI like my broccoli to have a bit of crunch, so I stir fry them in garlic and oyster sauce, mm. I find that steaming them makes it too soggy.

But broccoli is wonderful! I'm crazy for veggies in general though. My favorite preparation for just about everything is roasting- It concentrates the flavors, rather than washing them away as steaming tends to.
ReplyDeletemm...I LOVE broccoli :) I think it's my favorite veggie.
ReplyDeleteHe just needs to learn the veggies he likes! I have always been rabidly anti-vegetables, until I learned that it was just that I'd always had them cooked terribly. It took me forever to find out I liked Brussels sprouts, for instance, because I'd always had them boiled to a yellow-green. Same with broccoli. Unfortunately, my favorite way to eat broccoli is steamed with a pat of butter and some salt on top, which isn't really healthy, heh.
ReplyDeleteRyan LOVES broccoli!
ReplyDeleteDepend of the veggie... as a matter of fact, I decide this year to have more veggies in our meal :-)
ReplyDeleteI can always get behind more garlic and red pepper flakes!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs far as veggies go, we're veg lovers at our house. And broccoli is a favorite, especially roasted. The crispier, the better!
I like veggies! I usually just blanch broccoli and eat them. :O
ReplyDeleteI love veggies! But broccoli is one of my least favorites, depending on how it's prepared. My Mom makes garlic broccoli all the time - she probably uses twice as much garlic - and she doesn't steam them - just sautes.
ReplyDeleteI love broccoli-it is one of my favorite vegetables. I have recently been putting it in a lot of stir-fry dishes, and it sounds absolutely delicious prepared this way. Then again, garlic makes everything better ;)
