5-Minute Broccoli

Healthy Steaming is one of our Healthiest Way of Cooking methods that makes broccoli taste great as well as retaining its wonderful flavor. You will also be benefiting from the health-promoting sulfur compounds found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli.

Prep and Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

3 lb broccoli

Mediterranean Dressing

6 TBS extra virgin olive oil
4 tsp lemon juice
4 medium cloves garlic
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Optional:

5 drops coconut aminos sauce
2 TBS sunflower seeds

Directions:

1. Fill the bottom of the steamer with 2 inches of water.
2. While steam is building up in steamer, cut broccoli florets into quarters. Peel stems and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Let florets and stems sit for 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health benefits.
3. Chop or press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
4. Steam stems for 2 minutes before adding the florets.
5. Transfer to a bowl. For more flavor, toss broccoli with the remaining ingredients and any of the optional ingredients while it is still hot. (Mediterranean Dressing does not need to be made separately.)

Serves 6

To mellow the flavor of garlic, add garlic to broccoli for the last 2 minutes of steaming.
