    DSC 1374 - Sesame Broccoli

    Broccoli is one of those vegetables you either love or hate. My children didn’t like it when they were little. Yes, I had to repeat the infamous phrase, “eat your broccoli”, every time I put it on the table. They eventually grew up to love broccoli.Sesame broccoli is one of our favorite ways to eat it.
    Broccoli is available all year round, and this sesame broccoli is quick and easy, making it a great side dish to any meal!

    Blanch (or steam) the broccoli, dress it with generous amounts of sesame oil and sesame seeds, and season with salt. There you have it – a delicious side dish that’s nutty, crunchy, and delicious! Eat your broccoli!
