  • Sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent: This will help to bring out their sweetness and flavor.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the broccoli, as it will become mushy. Cook it just until it is bright green and tender when pierced with a fork.
