If you are like me, I really try to serve some sort of veggies either in the form of a side dish or salad at most meals. It is difficult to be creative and always come up with a fresh idea not always serving the same old thing. This is a nice recipe serving broccoli with a garlic butter sauce instead of the usual cheese sauce or plain. What is your favorite veggie side dish?
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice (I prefer the lemon juice)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup chopped salted cashews (I used unsalted)
- Cook the broccoli with about 1 inch of water in the pot.
- Bring to a boil, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
- Drain, and arrange broccoli in a serving bowl.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Mix in the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic.
- Pour over the broccoli.
- Top with chopped cashews.
