(Makes 4 to 6 side dish sized servings)
Ingredients:
- 2 heads of fresh broccoli
- water
- salt, to taste
- (optional, but highly recommended) sprinkling of dried dill, to taste
Directions:
- Cut the broccoli heads off of the stems and cut them into bite size pieces. There’s no right or wrong size, but make sure that all of the pieces are relatively the same size so that they cook evenly. You can also keep or discard the stems depending on your preference.
- Rinse the broccoli with water and make sure it is clean.
- Place the prepped broccoli in a pot and add water. The amount of water will differ depending on how much broccoli you make. Your goal is to add water until the broccoli is about half covered in water.
- Cover the pot, place it on the stove on High heat, and bring it to a boil. Cook it until the stem parts are fork tender. Again, the timing will defer depending on how much broccoli you make. Keep a close eye on it because it does not take long to cook. For the 2 heads that I used today, it took about 8 to 9 minutes to cook.
- Drain the broccoli.
- Place the broccoli in a bowl and sprinkle salt on top, to taste.
- (Optional) Sprinkle dried dill on top, to taste.
Note: You can use this recipe for as much or as little broccoli as you want. The ingredients and time are what I did for this batch of broccoli.
