BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER



Broccoli With Garlic-Herb Butter image

This is a recipe from my 2008 Weight Watchers cookbook that we really enjoyed. I altered it slightly for our taste. It's a nice way to enjoy broccoli without all the cheese sauce. It's got a nice bite to it too. Feel free to leave out the crushed red pepper flakes. The frozen steam bags of broccoli work well with this recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant color and a better flavor than frozen broccoli. If you are using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli is mushy and bland. Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a good quality butter: The butter is one of the main flavors in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality butter. Unsalted butter is best so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a much more pungent flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder or garlic salt.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the broccoli is still hot and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This broccoli with walnut garlic butter is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. If you like your broccoli more garlicky, add more garlic. If you like it more buttery, add more butter. And if you like it more nutty, add more walnuts. No matter how you make it, this dish is sure to be a hit.
