Instructions
- Cut florets off each bunch of broccoli, taking care to cut florets into similar sizes as much as possible for even cooking. Clean stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove any stems or leaves. Cut upper part of stalk closet to florets into 1-inch thick slices.
- Add broccoli to a heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with water and drizzle in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Cook over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes or until the stalk of a floret can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove broccoli with a slotted spoon into a serving bowl. Serve warm with butter and salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Tip - Don't cover the pot with a lid. Cook the broccoli florets covered with water and cook as directed uncovered. This should keep the broccoli bright green while covering it will make it turn a dark brown-green.
- Storage Tip:
- The broccoli tastes best when eaten warm after cooking it, but it can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
