In honour of the late (but not-so-great) TrainedRage , who was a truly awful man that I did not care about -- in fact, so awful that he shall henceforth be referred to as <He Who Shall Not Be Named> -- I present the Broccoli Lovers |OT|. In this thread, I request that you share your recipes in honour of <He Who Shall Not Be Named> for whom the humble broccoli was the greatest kind of green tree due to how well its vibrant colour matched his bright red hair. I will kick us off with this brilliant Broccoli and Goat Cheese Soup:

Ingredients
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 gloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
500 ml vegetable stock
1 cup broccoli florets
Handful of spinach or kale leaves
100 g goat cheese, crumbled

Method
1. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan over medium heat then add the garlic, ginger, chilli, coriander, turmeric, and a pinch of salt and saute for 2 minutes.
2. Add stock and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add broccoli and spinach/kale then cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.
4. Remove from heat, add goat cheese and stir until incorporated into the liquid.
5. Blend, serve, and hail Satan.

RIP <He Who Shall Not Be Named>

You mother f**ker! This is the line!

This is how we do it.

You asked for it.

I'll add to this. I like to steam my broccoli to absolute perfection. I like a good crunch so there is a sort of "al dente" going on with the broccoli, similar to cooking a good pasta. You want to cook it so it retains a crunch and nice color, usually when it loses color it becomes "rubbery" or something of that sort. Wouldn't be able to remember because I apply science to my cooking and it's worked very well and on a consistent basis.

Yo, this is how we know we spend too much time on this site.

I'm not sure what the hell's going on in here, but I think I like it.

You might want to add some pineapples to your diet to counteract the asparagus

Where is here? I think they’re just baby broccoli, like the same as broccoli but picked young.

 

[J-Roderton]

Only way I would eat broccoli growing up was to pretend I was a plant eater dinosaur and act like the broccoli was a tree.

Germany lol

But I have to admit that I’m not spending a lot of time in the “vegetable-district”

 

[#Phonepunk#]

one of my main means is a broccoli soup. i heat up broccoli florets, some northern beans, some lima beans, some potatoes, and mix it all in cream of chicken soup. sooooo good.

gonna take the time to shout out my favorite song about the food:

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I grew broccoli and brussel sprouts this past year.
They both turned out poorly.
Pests and drought were my fear.
They tasted fine but flowered too early.

 

[lil puff]

It tends to stink the next day. I can eat it, but veggies like cabbage, broccoli, brussell sprouts, onions I tend to avoid.

 

[MilkyJoe]

That poll is brutal

They're not broccoli but a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale

Lovely thread mate, keep it up so I can send my kids to school! I grow broccoli and broccolini.

For the record, broccolini and baby broccoli are two separate things. There are many varieties of baby broccoli whilst only one broccolini. Broccolini is actually the registered trademark for the seed variety we grow and sell as broccolini in Australia. In other countries it may be called something else.

And sauteè the fuck outta them with garlic salt and oil. Delicious!

Chinese kale (chinese broccoli, Gai Lan) is delicious. It is a must whenever I'm out for Dim Sum. Usually topped with baby shiitake mushrooms and brown sauce. So good.

 

[Gander]

Broccoli is a super food it even has protein.

Oyster sauce? That shit is the best.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Oyster sauce? That shit is the best.

Yep pretty much any "brown sauce" that you'll find at a Chinese restaurant will have an oyster sauce base to it. Oyster sauce and a touch of sesame oil will make any stir fry taste amazing.

Had some ramen noodles today with a ton of broccoli in it. Fantastico.
