Question

What are some good and easy dishes i can make with broccoli?

Answer 1

Broccoli casserole is good. Just use some frozen or fresh broccoli, cream of mushroom condensed soup, bread crumbs, and cheese. Combine the broccoli, some breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers) and soup together and spread it out in a casserole dish. Then top with cheese and more bread crumbs. This is one of my ALL TIME favorite foods. I'm sure you can find a complete recipes at allrecipes.com.

Answer 2

Honestly the best is steamed broccoli, but you can also add melted cheddar when it's done to give it a twist.

Also, if you want to spice up the flavor a little bit, I recommend adding Nature's Seasoning. It's great on just about anything from French fries to broccoli.

And if you're a little more of a sweet tooth, add a sweeting packet for ever 1 lb. of broccoli your cooking.

(remember not to add the cheese until you're done steaming it, too. Just reminding you.

Also, to give it a fresher taste, use something to keep it from touching the water at the bottom and only cook until able to cut with a fork. You want to keep it a light green color to hold the nutrients in. If it's turned a dark olive color than you've gone too far.

Answer 11

Okay the best thing I have ever done with broccoli is deep fry it.

Combine water and a little salt in a large saucepan. Heat to boiling. Cook broccoli until it is a little tender. (Don't completely cook it.) Drain and rinse in cold water. Combine 4 large eggs and a 1/2 a cup milk in a bowl. Coat the broccoli. Mix 1/4 cup flour, salt and pepper. Dip broccoli in batter. Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in deep fryer at 375 degrees, dip a few pieces of broccoli in batter. Fry 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown. Drain and serve.

If you don't have a deep fryer use a pot. It will work the same. You can do this with squash or zuchinni, anything will work.

Another thing I like to do is melt cheese on top of steamed broccoli.



Good luck(: I absolutely love broccoli
