Steamed broccoli
Description
This recipe won't take much time. Broccoli can be served at the table as a hot side dish. Or you can make a sauce and serve the broccoli as a cold appetizer. I prefer serving broccoli as a full side dish with fish dishes; it also pairs well with meat in general. As for how you use steamed broccoli—that's up to you. Serve the appetizer at the table.
