Who doesn't love broccoli?! It can be one of those side dishes that is either very plain, or we can change it to have a lot of flavor! It's hard when you're eating healthy sometimes to find things that taste good enough to make you want to eat them again. This broccoli recipe is one of those that I will be making again! It definitely has a Chinese flavor to it, and would be great with rice and terriyaki chicken. When I made this though I cooked it along side of the Parmesan Crusted Tilapia; I also did not add the cashews originally simply because I forgot to buy them. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1/3 cup butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup chopped salted cashews
Directions:
1. Place the broccoli into a large pot with about 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bring to a boil, and cook for 7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp. Drain, and arrange broccoli on a serving platter.
2. While the broccoli is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Mix in the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Mix in the cashews, and pour the sauce over the broccoli. Serve immediately.
