What is can I make with broccoli and a few things?
I have some broccoli but not a lot of stuff to cook with. Any quick ideas?
Answers:
Steam the broccoli and mix them with pasta and whatever you have and also some spices you like , some chicken .My favorite is when you put some garlic in hot olive oil , add some fresh or canned diced tomatoes, basil, ground black pepper , steamed broccoli and pasta.Add chicken cooked separately (grilled or fried,etc). It's the easiest and tastiest,try it. You can also boil the broccoli same time with pasta ,but you loose some vitamins.
Broccoli is good blanched and in a salad with pinenuts and a blue cheese dressing
or steamed with a cheese sauce over the top and then grilled.
or with pasta, chilli, garlic, bacon/ham and cream
or a soup with onions, potato and chives
or a frtittata with sweet potato, cream and cheddar cheese
Do you have rice or pasta? Soy sauce? Toss all those in together.
broccoli rice and chicken..add some american cheese slices you got a casserole..cook the rice and add the broccoli chop the chicken and precook it...throw it all in together in a casserole dish add the cheese on top .cook for about 30 minutes on 325 .yum...if you have a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom add that and mix it all up...this is a take off the ricearoni chicken and soup casserole..my kids love it..

Creamy Broccoli Soup - Recipe
INGREDIENTS
6 cups vegetable broth
2 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
1 large head fresh broccoli, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or curry powder (or more, to taste)
1. In a soup pot, bring broth and potatoes to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and cook until potato is very tender, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a steamer basket over boiling water, steam broccoli until crisp-tender and bright green, about 5 minutes. Remove 1/4 cup broccoli and reserve for garnish.
3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add onion, and cook, stirring, until onion is golden and softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, stirring until flour is slightly cooked. Remove a ladleful of broth from soup pot and add to flour-onion mixture, whisking until smooth and thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Remove potato and broth from heat, add broccoli and thickened flour-onion mixture, and dried basil or curry powder, and puree in batches in a blender or food processor until creamy.
5. Serve soup hot, garnishing each bowl with a bit of reserved broccoli.
