| After much experimentation, I discovered this easy to fix broccoli recipe. Only TWO ingredients, and in just a few minutes this dish will be on the table. You can feel thrifty, too because you will be using the broccoli stems that in other recipes you may just toss out. A very low fat recipe. And notice that it hardly contains any salt at all. It is a very low sodium recipe, one of the easiest vegetarian recipes ever. |
