Microwave Broccoli

Ingrédients

• 1 head broccoli
• 1/4 cup water

Préparation

1. 1

   If using fresh broccoli: Either dice the broccoli into bite sized florets or use a food processor to make riced broccoli, setting aside or discarding the large stems.

2. 2

   If using frozen broccoli: If you’re using frozen broccoli, do not defrost the broccoli first. If any pieces are stuck together, gently break apart the pieces.

3. 3

   Next, transfer the broccoli a wide, microwave safe bowl. Add about 1/4 cup water to the bowl, so that the bottom of the bowl is covered with water, and cover tightly with a piece of plastic wrap. Alternatively, add the broccoli and water to a food grade silicone bag.

4. 4

   Set the bowl in the microwave and turn on high. See "Notes" section below for cook times, and keep in mind that microwaves may vary.

5. 5

   Once the broccoli is steamed, make sure to wait about 2-3 minutes before handling it. Carefully peel back the plastic wrap or open the silicone bag.

6. 6

   Drain the water and enjoy the steamed broccoli exactly as it is. If you’d like, add a pat of butter or ghee and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
