Broccoli-Parmesan Side Dish

 

We love broccoli in our house...we love it raw, steamed, roasted.  We also put it on our homemade veggie white pizza. It's so good!

Here's a fave recipe that goes great with grilled salmon or chicken. 

BROCCOLI PARMESAN

1 medium bunch broccoli

or 1 bag frozen broccoli florets

1 can reduced-sodium veggie broth

1/2 c. chopped red or yellow onion

3 tsp chopped raw garlic 

( or you can use minced garlic)

1 tablespoon Earth Balance original butter

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

2-4 tablespoons of shredded parmesan cheese

(original recipe called for just 2 tsp...that wasn't enough for us!)

• In a large saucepan, bring the broccoli and broth to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for about 6-8 minutes or until just crisp-tender. 
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet, sauce the onion and garlic in the butter until tender.  Stir in the basil and pepper. 
• Drain broccoli and place in a  serving bowl; add the onion mixture.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and give it a good toss.
