After moving to HK, we have developed a healthy appreciation for green vegetables like asparagus, celery, broccoli amongst others. These vegetables were not very easily available back home and therefore we never really got to experiment with them much.
One of my favourite greens is broccoli. An extremely versatile vegetable, it cooks quickly and tastes great with any sauce.
Here's one of my quick and easy broccoli recipes, garlic broccoli bruschetta. It makes for a great starter if you have company or is a wonderful snack if you're in the mood for a healthy homemade bite!
Ingredients:
Five pods of crushed garlic
1 whole broccoli flower, cut into florets
Salt and pepper
Dried oregano, chilli flakes, parsley
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon soya sauce
3 teaspoon lime juice
Bruschetta bread or toast bread and cut into square slices
Preparation:
Add the oil in a non-stick pan for 2-3 minutes on medium heat
Lower the heat to sim; add crushed garlic and oregano
Once the garlic starts changing colour, add the broccoli
Stir and cover with a lid and for for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally
You can add a little water if the broccoli starts sticking to the pan
Once the broccoli is cooked (tender but not soft), add salt, pepper, chilli flakes, parsley and lime juice
Mix well, adjust the taste as required
Add soya sauce, mix and turn off the heat
Place one floret on one piece of bruschetta or toast and serve!
Optional - You can also grate cheese and sprinkle on top
Do let me know if you enjoyed the garlic broccoli bruschetta! Did you make any changes to the recipe? Can we substitute the broccoli with some other green vegetables?
