How people cook with it
Broccoli cuts are a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different types of cooking.
- Steamed as a side dish
- Added to stir-fries
- Mixed into pasta sauces
- Included in casseroles
You can steam these broccoli cuts until tender-crisp, or sauté them with garlic and olive oil. They are also excellent when roasted in the oven with a little seasoning. For a quick meal addition, toss them into simmering soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking. They can also be blanched and then chilled for use in salads. Their small size means they cook relatively quickly.
