If you like Broccoli... try my recipe..

Post by cyprusmax47 »

Yesterday I needed a side dish for my lunch which was simple spaghetti with ham & Parmesan cheese and browned butter. I wanted something quick while the paste were boiling their 8 minutes...

So, I had Broccoli florets in the freezer and ripe Avocado and decided to prepare a Broccoli salad. It was quick done (5 minutes) and ready together with the cooked pasta. I liked it a lot and here my cooking instructions for one person:

Ingredients:
200 gr Broccoli florets frozen
1 medium size Avocado
1 lemon
2 garlic cloves
salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, butter 30gr

Bringing a small amount of salted water to the boil, I added the frozen Broccoli and waited with the lid on until it was boiling again. Immediately I drained the water away and back to the very hot plate I added the butter and the fine chopped garlic to it. A little shake and after adding salt and pepper, as soon as the butter was brown, off the stove and lid on.
Some minutes later I dished it into a ceramic bowl to led it cool down a bit and added the chopped Avocado, a dash of the apple cider vinegar and the juice of the lemon. Ready!

It really matched very well with the pasta dish and was prepared so quick...

Hey Max. You're recipe sounds FAB. All the ingredients I love. . . . bar one. Avocado gives me the very BOAK🤢

For me it would work with a tad of crispy fried lardons. 😍 Thankyou for sharing. X

However, it was the Avocado which made the salad so interesting. I prepared many times different Broccoli recipes, also with Curcuma and Ginger etc., none was so tasty for me!
Anyhow, I like Avocado a lot and eat them at least 3 times a week. By the way it is one of the healthiest foods we can get. Important is that they are not too ripe (or brown inside)...and from Cyprus!
