Steamed Broccoli
Fresh Broccoli
Butter
The broccoli I used today is a broccoli crown. It means that the
stalk has been cut down before you buy it.
Crowns are generally a little more money, because you are not
getting the stem, but unless you want to use the stem to make soup
they are usually thrown away.
Trim the crown by cutting bite size pieces of broccoli away from the crown.
I could not find my steamer anywhere, so I had to improvise.
All I needed was something to raise the broccoli above the water.
I used metal cookie cutters and made two layers.
I put water in the pan, about 2" of it.
Then I put the broccoli on the top of the cutters
It worked great!
Put a lid on the pan, and bring the water to a boil.
Let the broccoli steam for 10 minutes. Take a piece out
and check to see if it is tender by sticking a knife in a stem.
When the broccoli is done, top it with a pat of butter.
Enjoy!
Thank you for joining me today!
Due to problems I had with obtaining some of the ingredients I need for
the appetizer this week, I had to switch days, making the vegetable today and
I will be making the appetizer tomorrow.
I appreciate your patience with my scatterbrain!
See you tomorrow!
