So, a lot of people get into a "rut" with the same old side of veggies... bland, nothing spectacular, nothing that makes you excited to eat them. I'm going to start doing a series of different seasonings to spice things up and make your food exciting! I'm going to help you quit buying the same 3 vegtables and make your plate exciting again! So... here is your first you can use any vegtable with this recipe. If you always eat broccoli- try kale (I LOVE kale). I was talking about including your kids- heres a chance to let them pick 1 item in the produce and learn how to use it. Ask me anything tab may come in handy here! I have listed 1/4 t red pepper flakes- I use more, we love spice. You can use less, more or none :) Also, I don't add the pine nuts- nut allergy. If you're not allergic- almonds apperantly work well too. Again, your choice.
2 c broccoli, lightly steamed
2 T. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T pine nuts
1/4 t red pepper flakes
1/4 t salt
Bring a large saucepa over medium heat. Let warm a minute or so and add the oil. Put garlic in the pan and mash it with the back of a fork, let it soak in theoil to give oil garlic flavor. Add pepper flakes and coo for another minute (don't let the garlic brown!) Add pine nuts, broccoli and salt and cook until the broccoli is warmed and the pine nuts lightly toasted.
Serves 4
