Charred Broccoli with Onions
This is probably my favourite way to eat broccoli. It's simple and it's delicious. I could easily double this recipe and my family would eat it all, they love it.
The broccoli is also great roasted on its own with some olive oil and salt. My daughter if she spots broccoli in the fridge will make this for herself for lunch, anytime she can.
Use the measurements in this recipe as a guideline. Add more or less broccoli and then everything else is to taste.
Broccoli stalks are delicious raw. Just cut off the tough outer layer and inside is a fresh crisp stalk, perfect for you or your kids to munch on.
Give this a try if you want to try something new, it's delicious.
