Broccoli is very expensive in India so I have never cooked with this vegetable before. Its very widely available in Singapore and priced pretty much like any other vegetable so I bought some the other day. The only problem was, I didn't know what to make with it. Ignoring TH's comment to "cook it like you do with cauliflower, maybe Aloo Broccoli?", I started searching around for a good soup recipe since I was sure I had come across some nice ones before.
Broccoli - 2 cups, chopped (discard the thicker part of the stem)
Vegetable stock - 4 cups (I used store-bought but here is a nice simple recipe if you want to make your own vegetable stock)
Garlic - 3 to 4 cloves, chopped
Olive oil - 1 tbsp
Salt and pepper - to taste (freshly ground pepper makes a lot of difference to the taste)
How I Made It:
1. Heat the oil in a pan and saute the garlic till it turns a light brown at the edges.
2. Add the stock and the broccoli, bring to boil and simmer for 25-30 minutes. The broccoli should be cooked at this point.
3. Blend in a mixie/blender and serve hot with some salt and pepper.
