Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 1 quart water (or enough water to cover the cauliflower)
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Remove the florets from the broccoli and set the stalks aside for some other use.
  • Place the broccoli into a medium sized saucepan and cover with water.  Add more water if 1 quart doesn't cover all of the pieces. 
  • Add 1 tbsp of salt to the water.  Heat on high for 5-7 minutes until the water is simmering. 
  • Allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes, then check by piercing it with a fork.  If you are using this for another cooked recipe, then the fork should barely pierce the exterior.  If you plan to eat the as is, cook it until a fork goes easily through the entire piece (10 minutes or so). 
  • While is cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan and add the garlic powder and onion powder to the butter, stir well. Turn the heat off when the butter is fully melted. 
  • When cooked the way you want, pour into a colander to drain initially and then place on paper towels to drain on paper towels.  
  • Once drained, place in a bowl and pour the melted butter mixture over the top. Taste and add salt and pepper.  Serve hot.
