I love broccoli. Here is a step-by-step guide to cleaning, cutting, and steaming delicious broccoli. My favorite way to eat it? With a little salad dressing either oil and vinegar, or something a little creamier.
Even though I buy organic, I start with washing the broccoli in a fruit/vegetable wash—sometimes I use just a dab of dish soap. Why organic? Because I don’t want to buy winter broccoli from the Mexican state in which I work (it grows a lot), chemical-loaded and groundwater depleting (see article): Broccoli in Mexico depletes groundwater causing problems in villages.
A favorite recipe is lightly sauteed, with cornmeal (called “Fried Cauliflower”) in my FoodWISE book, or sign up here for just the recipe: https://gigiberardi.com/
