Ingredients
- 2 crowns broccoli
Instructions
- Trim the broccoli florets from the broccoli crown.
- Once you are finished with the florets you can add them to a steamer inserted into a pot with a little bit of boiling water. Water should be about an inch of water or two. Just enough so it's not coming above the steamer insert.
- Cook the broccoli for covered on medium-high heat so that the water is boiling.
- Remove the broccoli after 5 minutes and place right into an ice bath to blanch the broccoli.
- Chop the stems up into bite-size pieces and place into the steamer just like we did with the broccoli florets.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until tender.
