What to make with Broccoli?

NeuroticVirgo

I seem to have a lot of broccoli stocked up, and am trying to come up with food ideas that aren't just broccoli as a side. Otherwise I can see my family becoming sick of broccoli really fast.

So any suggestions? (besides chicken & broccoli, rice and broccoli, steak and broccoli etc LOL) Trying to mix up the flavor a bit. Like is there such things a broccoli casserole? or maybe like a broccoli spaghetti sauce or something. haha

Thanks :flowerforyou:

Our favorite is a ginger beef and broccoli recipe, except we omit the beef and use asian mushrooms, onions, garlic, ginger and a LOT of broccoli. The mushrooms make up for the beef and way less fat, more fiber! A little brown rice with it and you have a real treat that is super healthy and good leftover for lunch!!!

I like to mix mushrooms with my brocolli, I also add brocolli to maranara sauce with my spegetti squash....I eat brocolli alomsy every night! I mix it up with my lean cusines, very tasty!

My personal fave is to put it in stirfry. I cook up pieces of chicken breast in a pan with some honey and garlic added for a yummy flavour, then load on the veggies. you can add some rice too if you are in need of some carbs.

I microwaved some broccoli with a wedge of laughing cow cheese, and chicken, but you can do it plain or with whatever. The cheese needed some mashing and mixing, but it was really tasty. They make flavored cheese, but I just used plain...I bet the chipotle or french onion would be great.

You can make that low fat if you use skim milk powder...it makes it creamier, but no added fat!

Stir fry with meat and other veggies (if you want) with olive oil and teriyaki sauce. Serve over rice. The more veggies you put with it...the lower cals it is and it's really yummy!

I use it in omelets

I'm trying to mix up the sauces I put on my steamed broccoli/caulifower combo. Have so far tried ABC sauce (kecap manis), hoi sin, sweet chilli, oyster. They're all a bit high in sodium, but you don't need much!

Paula Deen has an awesome recipe for a cold broccoli salad. It's broccoli, bacon, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and raisins tossed in a mayo/white vinegar dressing. It is the most delcious broccoli salad you will ever eat! I drastically modify the dressing though to make it much healthier...

Skinnytaste.com has the lightened reciepes and two of my favorites involve broccoli. Look up Broccoli and cheese mini omelettes and broccoli and orzo. So yummy! This sit is seriously amazing...I promise it is worth looking up.

Catalan, with or without chicken. We make it with strips of boneless, skinless chicken, Lundburg Family Farms mixed rice cooked in a water/low-sodium, fat-free broth mix, red or orange bell peppers cut into strips, broccoli florets, bay leaf (be sure to pull it out), zucchini slices, with onion, garlic, tomatoes (diced/crushed), and cilantro. Some folks like it with eggplant, but I'm not fond of the texture. It's super good, not too high in calories, and you can put a LOT of broccoli in there. It doesn't have to be made with chicken, it can be meatless and excellent. The carbs are a bit high because of the rice and the veggies, but the rice is a good, fibrous mix, not white converted.

I think I owe some of my weight loss to broccoli, but I just eat it plain, so

Broccoli casserole is yummy!! I wish I had a good recipe for it, but I usually just google recipes when I'm looking for one.

Mushroom, garlic and broccoli risotto (I have a recipe if you want).
"Green" soup. Fry leek and onion, add stock plus any green veg you like (cabbage, broccoli, spinach, chard, beans, peas etc) until they're cooked and blend it all up.
Stir-fry.
Salmon and broccoli pasta (or no-pasta if you're low-carb) bake.
Roasted broccoli with various seasonings (eg lemon/almonds/pine nuts/cheese).
Broccoli and cauliflower cheese. Like cauliflower cheese but nicer.
Quiche.


Enjoy.
