BEST BROCCOLI CAT CORA EVER ATE

Steps:

• Break down broccoli into florets sauté in a splash of olive oil preferably in a cast iron skillet. When broccoli just begins to brown add garlic and more oil if needed. Sauté a minute or so then add the Calabrian chilies. You can use other spicy peppers but the ones from Calabria have a nice nuanced spiciness. Hit it all with somew salt. Let the flavors meld and add the lemon zest. Top with julienne lemon peel if desired. Enjoy.
• Note. I use the crushed Calabrian chilies It comes ina jar with oil.

BROCCOLI AND CELERY SLAW

• Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cover and allow the slaw to sit for at least 30 minutes, tossing every so often to combine well. Top with raisins before serving.

CATHY'S QUICK STIR-FRIED BROCCOLI SLAW SIDE DISH

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in large skillet or wok.
• Add garlic. Sautee garlic slightly, infusing oil with garlic flavor. Monitor heat carefully to avoid burning.
• Add broccoli coleslaw, and stir fry until crisp-tender. (I cheated and put the cover on my skillet for a little while to speed things along with a little steam).
• Add soy sauce and splenda, and continue to cook until splenda is disolved and liquid is absorbed. Taste test, and determine whether or not you'd like to add more splenda, soy sauce, or salt and pepper. Adjust seasonings accordingly.
• Place in serving bowl, and top with toasted pine nuts. Toss slightly, but no so much that pine nuts drop all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
• Note: To toast pine nuts, I placed them in a heavy pan, over medium-low heat, and tossed and shook the pan to keep them moving, until they started to show some browning and until they started to smell toasted and more intense.
