Directions
Simple Steamed Broccoli,My son adores steamed broccoli, especially the way they serve it at the Outback Restaurant. He loves it so much he asks for broccoli instead of fries when we eat there!! This is what I came up with that he deemed “perfect”. (The sugar is merely to help the water boil, like salt does, without adding a salty flavor to the vegetables. I read that tip on a website when I was learning to use the steamer and have used it ever since.),The steaming went well. I was worried about over-steaming (nothing worse than mushy broccoli), so I steamed for only six minutes, which was not enough; next time I will try seven minutes.
I forgot the sugar, so will try that next time.
The butter did not work for my family, and I will skip that completely next time, and just go with plain steamed broccoli.,I eat broccoli quite often, even if the Bush family hates it:DI always steam it, but have never heard of a teaspoon of sugar in the water below basket.I am fixing it today to accompany lamb loin chops and oven roasted potatoes.Thanks for the suggestion.
