Broccoli Recipes
Broccoli is a great go-to ingredient. You can cook with the vibrant green florets, as well as the stems, and stalks (they're great sliced into thin coins). I love it grilled, blanched, pureed, sautéed - just about any way you can imagine. Broccoli is fast to prepare and cook, and a very nutritious member of the cruciferous vegetable family - thought to contain a powerful arsenal of anticancer compounds. Here are a few of my favorite broccoli recipes and preparations. Please enjoy!
A New Take on Potato Chowder

Heirloom Beans & Seitan
This is simply heirloom beans and roasted broccoli with shallots and pan-fried seitan. Something I threw together one night after getting home from the airport. It's filling and hearty, and quick to make - particularly if you have cooked beans stashed in the freezer...but canned beans will work too.

Asparagus Salad
Inspired by the new farmers market up the street from my house, I made this sauteed asparagus and broccolini salad. Finished with slivered radishes, a chunky lemon-pinenut dressing, and a bit of shaved Parmesan it works alongside pasta, topped with poached eggs, or, on its own.

Broccoli Crunch
A great broccoli recipe, one of my favorites! Tiny green florets, crisp apples, crunchy shallots, candied nuts and slivered red onions are tossed in a barely sweet, creamy almond vinaigrette. Add baked tofu or pan-fried tempeh and you can easily turn this side into a main course.
