Serving size
Ingredients
- 8 cups Chopped Raw Broccoli Crowns (Bite-sized Pieces)
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 4 Cloves Garlic, Chopped
- ¼ cup Low Sodium Chicken or Vegetable Broth
- ½ tsp. Salt
- ¼ tsp. Dry Thyme
- ¼ tsp. White Pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Place the chopped broccoli crowns in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water.
Step 2
Steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still bright green. Remove from heat.
Step 3
While the broccoli is steaming, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Toss to coat the broccoli with the garlic-infused olive oil.
Step 6
Pour in the broth and season with salt, dry thyme, and white pepper. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash the broccoli while stirring.
Step 7
Continue mashing and stirring until the broccoli is well coated with the garlic oil and reaches your desired level of creaminess. If it’s too dry, you can add a bit more broth.
Step 8
Transfer the garlic-mashed broccoli to a serving dish. Serve hot as a flavorful and nutritious side dish.
Step 9
Enjoy!
