SESAME BROCCOLI, REALLY..IT'S GOOD!



Sesame Broccoli, Really..it's Good! image

The dish is a nice and easy change from the norm, and quite different from some of the other broccoli recipes I have seen here. Try it, you might like it as much as we do! Due to a great suggestion from a reviewer, I have added toasting the sesame seeds, a marvelous idea! Also, PLEASE don't substitute the sesame oil as one review did here, you loose the entire flavor of this great dish! This is an adopted recipe and the above comments were made before I inherited it. Now having made this dish, I can concurr: it's a sesame oil that turns your head and gets your taste buds going in this recipe, and toasting the seeds also adds fuller flavour. I'm delighted to have adopted this recipe and will be making it often:) I hope that you will enjoy it too!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
1 large head broccoli
1 Tbsp. Asian sesame oil
coarse sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • If using sesame seeds, place them in a small, dry skillet and toast, shaking the pan frequently, until lightly browned. Set aside to cool. Rinse the broccoli and separate the florets from the stalks, reserving the stalks for another use.
  • Arrange the florets in a vegetable steamer basket or steamer insert. Bring about 1 inch of water to boil in a deep, wide pot. Lower the steamer into the pot, making sure it rests above the water. Cover and cook the broccoli until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked broccoli to a serving bowl and drizzle with the sesame oil. Add sea salt to taste, and sesame seeds and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
