BROCCOLI WITH ANCHOVIES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Cut off the broccoli tops into individual florets. Cut the stems crosswise into 2-inch lengths. Trim off the outside of the stems and cut the trimmed pieces diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. There should be about 6 cups in all.
• Bring enough water to a boil to cover the broccoli when it is added. Add salt and the broccoli pieces and cook 3 minutes. Drain.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and add the broccoli pieces. Cook, stirring, over relatively high heat, and add the garlic, pepper flakes and anchovy paste. Cook, tossing and stirring the ingredients together, about 1 minute. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with crust.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and broccoli. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft. Spoon vegetables into crust and sprinkle with cheese.
• Combine eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until center has set, 30 to 50 minutes.

BROCCOLI AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the broccoli tops into florets. If the pieces are quite large, split at the bottom and cut in half. Rinse and drain. Reserve the coarse or tougher stems for other uses.
• Drop the broccoli pieces into boiling salted water and leave for 1 minute. Drain and let cool.
• Cut the avocados in half. Peel each half and remove the seeds. Cut each half lengthwise into 8 strips. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
• Arrange and alternate pieces of broccoli and avocado on a plate. Sprinkle the top with the chopped tomatoes.
• Blend salt with the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and pour over the salad. Serve immediately.

• Stir mayonnaise, sweetener, and apple cider vinegar together in a small bowl. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture and toss until well combined.
