Steamed Broccoli
Apr 07, 2020
Method
- Cut broccoli into 2-inch florets.
- Place in a bamboo steamer, layer another on top and place over a pan of boiling water
- Cover steamers with the bamboo lid until the broccoli is crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
That’s it! I don’t like to overcook mine as I usually use it for food prep, I am going to be heating it up again in the microwave later. This just avoids it going mushy later.
To Taste
- Season with salt and pepper
- A squeeze of lemon juice
- Olive Oil
To Make a Meal
Add 110g of any lean protein with a serving of carbohydrates (sweet potato being my favourite) and a serving of good fats for a complete meal!
Sometimes for breakfast I will chop steamed broccoli up into small pieces and make it into a omelette with 3 x eggs, spinach.
Where do I get one of these steamers?
I got mine from Kmart for $10. I have seen them in supermarkets, Asian grocers, knickknack shops and homeware stores. If all else fails you can buy almost anything on the internet these days.
