Broccoli Recipe with Orange Sauce
This broccoli recipe has only 2 ingredients! Your family will love this simple vegetarian recipe, and you will love how quick it is to make.
Once it was difficult to get the family to eat more healthy meals. Especially anything that has broccoli in it, since this particular vegetable has such a strong flavor.
| After much experimentation, I discovered this easy to fix broccoli with orange sauce 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. | |
This simple vegetarian recipe is easily doubled when you are cooking for more than a small family meal.
| This low sodium recipe pairs well with a simple sandwich, or just a lighter chicken dish. I use a food processor to make the sauce really smooth for this broccoli recipe, but you can also use an immersion blender if you have one handy. |
