crushed mustard seed

I usually do olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and then roast until the florets start to caramelize a bit. You can hold the salt if you'd like, though.

Could join me in trying it with nutritional yeast.

That's a good option but for me it's the plain boiled broccoli with a glass of the cooking water on the side.

>tfw Vons sells 16 oz brocolli water for $4.99.

A little cayenne, a little garlic powder, a little freshly ground black pepper.

>>10941251
sesame oil

olive oil and then throw them on the grill

Step aside.

Np, I will let you right through to the trash dump.

What's wrong fatty? Don't you exercise and drink enough water?

>>10941332

>>10941460
Not OP but most of the time my main dishes are fatty and salty, so I like my vegetable side dishes to be lighter and refreshing. I usually just put vinegar on my vegetables.

>>10941251
Why no salt, do you have high blood pressure?

>>10941262
>>10941420
Yep these. And you gotta roast it for that next level flavor.

Maybe he's allergic to sodium.

>>10941671
You can't be allergic to sodium. I guess you could have bad reactions to it but you can't be allergic.

>>10941251
I do this
>boil or saute for 2-3 mins
>low-salt soy sauce
>a bit of olive oil
>lemon juice
>a bit of sugar
>1 clove or garlic chopped
Best shit ever. Add tomatoes and fresh herbs to your liking and you'll get a decent salad.

I just steam it. No seasoning or anything.

>>10941251
Brocolli is so packed with flavour for a green veg, why would you need to season it unless you eat it with nothing else?

Just eat it with something more rich in flavour and it's perfect as is for a side

Personally I chow down on blanched broccoli as soon as it's cooked

>>10941683
Imagine having a sodium allergy though, holy shit, would you just be itching and dying from the moment of conception?

>he doesn't understand that salt is a flavor enhancer
Learn 2 season. There's a beautiful moment where the right amount of salt makes the food almost taste sweet, it's beautiful. Properly salted food doesn't taste salty.

>>10941727
if plain broccoli is delicious without salt already, why would I want to add more sodium into my diet

nothing wrong with seasoning, but not every single thing you eat needs to be salted

>>10941727
This.
I salt my coffee with just a few small crystals and the difference is huge. Also I always salt my chocolate mousse or glaze when I bake stuff. I pity the fools who fell for the "salt is bad" meme.

>>10941727
>eat broccoli with rich seasoned chicken
>need to add salt to broccoli also
why

>>10941700
my man.

couple years back I had an argument with a friend who insisted that a lot of things taste better without salt. I got challenged to try it for 2 weeks - didn't use any salt for cooking and avoided eating pre-made salty stuff.
the results were pretty amazing. I still wouldn't agree with him 100% but I admit that a lot of things that I'd consider bland before I now enjoy without any seasoning, or just with some herbs/spices that nicely compliment them.
for brocs I like some oregano

>>10941733
do you also pity the fools who fell for the "smoking is bad for you" and "obesity is bad for you" memes?

>>10941767
Those are bad comparisons, salt isn't inherently bad unless you have too much. Smoking and obesity always cause damage.

>>10941780
>most countries (amerifat not included) health industries recommend no more than 1tsp of salt a day

>melt some cheese in a pan
>add fresh-ground black pepper
>add cooked finely diced tomato
this makes a great dunking sauce

>take a piece of broccoli
>dunk it right into the trash
>get a real veg like cauliflower
>dunk it deep into the sauce
>enjoy it as you see fit
>double check that none of the broccoli escaped the trash
>remind person buying groceries to stop buying broccoli

>>10941824
>yfw mummy puts broccoli on your plate

soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce (minimised to prevent diabetes) garlic, alcohol and chili. for stir fry
for normal side to steak etc. just pepper, garlic and bush spices mix (coles)
plain is also good

bwoccowi is yuck yuck

If you have 2 healthy functioning kidneys and normal blood pressure then you really don't need to worry about salt. Just drink water and exercise and you'll be fine. Do you fret over everything your government tells you to do?

Soy sauce with sesame seeds

>>10941251
roast with olive oil,salt,dill, little sugar,sometimes herb butter. tastes good to feta or other salty cheese

i bought a small jar of this fully expecting it to suck.
but i like it. it tastes near-identical to salt to me. it's not offensive in anyway.

in fact, that slight unusual taste is pleasant. i'd use it even if i wasn't watching my sodium.
