Try food processing them into little bits like grains of rice

Then fry with onions and fresh garlic

If ur eating rice thow it in aswell

If j want it a bit spicy i like cumin in almost evwrything

Steam cook broccoli. You can steam them in like 3-4 mins and they'll be nice and crisp and not mushy. I like to make a lot of sauces in bulk to give my food some extra flavour. I know a good french sauce thats easy to make and goes well with virtually any green veg but especially broccoli.

if your cooking a bunch ahead of time blanch them.

bring salted water to a boil
add broccoli and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes
drop it into an ice bath or run cold water over it to stop cooking

to reheat just throw a little water into a pan and add the broccoli.

o yea cchopped whole garlic and shallots are way better than powdered. also i like adding pepper to my green veg.

I've been eating alot of broccoli lately and have had the same problem. I've tried two things that have improved its bland taste and thats melting some low-fat cheese over the top or tossing it in a light mixture of garlic and sweet soy sauce.

3 parts olive oil 1 part raw apple cider vinegar. Spice up with whatever you like, onion, garlic, oregano, cayenne, etc... Put bite size pieces of broccoli in a tupperware and dowse with the dressing you just made. Shake to coat evenly and stick in the fridge for 4-6 hours or even overnight. It sorta soft cooks it a little and the flavor is great. Actually you could use that dressing on a dog turd and walk away satisfied.

Lightly steamed with lemon juice never gets old.
