Yeah just boil it and eat it. Delicious or else you're a tastelet

>>18807799

>>18807799
You have to be at least 18 to post here

Americans melt a whole block of cheese, sprinkle some broccoli in it, put it in a bread bowl and call it soup

this
add some butter if you're still a toddler

broccolini is superior in terms of taste and texture tbqh. however, here are my go-to preparations:

blanche/steam until bright green
quickly blacken in cast-iron skillet with whole black peppercorns (salt too, obviously)
serve with rice dishes. i do gochujang tofu/chicken or dishes with sesame/peanut sauce

roast in oven with garlic & onion powder, red pepper flakes, other fav seasonings, and salt until crisp. serve with anything

broccoli cheddar quiche is great, as well as broccoli cheddar soup

this one works better for broccolini, but florets cut in half are great for galettes. romano and morel with herbs on a crust dusted with nutritional yeast is great

DO NOT eat it raw
DO NOT boil it or cook it past the bright green stage
DO NOT use it in a dish where the top will absorb too much liquid and become a soggy mess
all of these will impede your enjoyment

The only good way to use this disgusting plant is to put it in the food processor and add to tuna casserole or dump in large sums of melted cheese. In any case, it must me grinded up.

>>18807799
it's good in a stir fry

>>18807799
Force feed ye mum 12 florets of raw broccoli, wait 16 hours, dive right into those sweet cheeks.

If you don't like broccoli, try so-called baby broccoli/broccolini/tenderstem broccoli. They're sweeter and less woody so might be more pleasant for you to try. Also, cream of broccoli soup or broccoli chowder might be your speed, but if they're not, give the other varieties I mentioned a go.

ill eat it in a general tso but i don’t buy it usually. I’d rather cabbage or green beans

>>18807799
Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and throw it on the grill. If that doesn't work for you you're beyond hope.

>>18807799
it tastes good raw, but try it dipped in salsa.

>>18807799
take fresh broccoli
dip into ranch dressing
eat

>>18807799

>>18807819
This is the only acceptable application.

Cut it into small bits, toss them in oil and roast them until they're all brown and almost burnt. It completely changes it.

>>18807799
Buy broccoli head in plastic, these things are in it

>>18809360
You will eat ze

>>18807799
just boil them and put lemon juice and garlic on them

>>18807799
grow up

>>18807799
>make some garlic-infused olive oil in a pan on medium

>>18807921
only way i'll eat it

>>18807799
>steam it
>pour soy sauce on it

>>18809488
dark soy anon, dark soy

>>18807799
Fry it in bacon grease or lard. Next

>>18809520
I use kikoman nip soy.

>>18809531
too salty and no depth of flavour. also ironically the least appropriate soya to use with sushi :[

>>18807799
you can't. you eat it because it's >good for you

>>18809360
that's the protein

>>18807842
why not eat it raw?

>>18807799
Boil the fuck out of it with way too much salt. It’s perfect. Just like grandma used to make
Also blanching it and covering it in teriyaki sauce should work.

>>18809607
raw is fine for salads and dipping, but if someone already finds broccoli disgusting, trying to eat it raw won't make them hate it any less

I made 'mashed broccoli' to get my kids into it.

3 parts broccoli, 1 part potato. Boil the shit out of it so it's overcooked and soft. Drain as much as possible. Mash/blend the cooked product with some butter, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper.

It's very nice and got them used to the idea of eating broccoli. Healthier than mashed potato, far less healthy than just eating broccoli...

>>18810301
just make beef and broccoli

>>18807799
Sautee them in some bacon grease or tasty oil, then throw some 'samic on those little bitches

>>18807799
>find me a recipe that makes it tasty
Steam it in the microwave with a little butter.
Done.

>>18807799
>find me a recipe that makes it tasty
Biol or microwave, add to mac and cheese, use to sop up excess cheese sauce. Helps if you make the cheese sauce extra thin.
Did that shit last night!

>>18807799

>>18807819
I love quiznos broccoli soup, it fucking amazing

>>18807799
stir fry with a pile of garlic

>>18807799
Beef and broccoli, broccoli cheddar soup, pretty much any kind of stir fry, great in pasta dishes with garlic and parmesan, eat them raw with a little bit of ranch dip, the possibilities are endless. Broccoli is fucking delicious, broham.

>>18810262
i dont find it gross, just bland, and the fuzzy bit on top is a weird texture which is the major turn off to me. Which is shitty because thats like half the damn food right there

>>18807799
>steam them bitches
>cut up into smaller pieces
>cook pasta
>cook a protein (chicken, ground beef, etc) and cut into smaller pieces
>mix pasta, broccoli, feta cheese, meat, salt, pepper, olive oil together
perfect dish that takes like 30 minutes to make tops

>>18807799
Either steam it really short, finish with Maldon salt. Or simmer it endlessly in red wine, garlic, anchovy and Sicilian pecorino.

>>18810301
My kid likes broccoli but none of us like it mashed. We just kinda eat broccoli as broccoli. A novel idea, I know, but we're a novel sort of family.

>>18809302
this.. delicious.

>>18809302
then dip them in chocolate

Steam them then add vinegar or lemon. Never ever ever ever ever fry them alone.

>>18807817
broccoli can have a pretty sweet taste, especially the stems

>>18807799
Cheese and broccoli is just about the most toddler-tier entry level vegetable dish there is. If you can't stomach that, its unironically fucking over for you. And I'd bet good money you're a fatass tooo

>>18807799
Shred raw with cabbage and scallion, add blue cheese and slivered almonds. Serve on top of grilled hotdogs in buns after you've had a six pack of IPAs. Try to follow along with whatever bullshit show is on Amazon prime, give up and have a second helping of slaw, this time with bacon bits on top. Blearily drive to the gas station for more beer. Grag a bag of pork skins, realize at the register you picked up barbeque instead of hot. Fuck. Stagger back to the chip isle, walk past cops. Wave and smile at them, you're white and clearly employed, they don't care. Weave your way back to the register and ask for a pack of dutch masters because you can't fucking wait to wake up with the taste of dead people on your mouth. Drive home going 10 miles under the speed limit and crack open another beer. Scoop up slaw with pork skins and fire up a cheap cigar on the porch. Go to bed. Do it all again tomorrow.

>>18809302
it really is amazing how simply you can cook vegetables to make them good. pretty much every vegetable just needs oil, salt, pepper, and maybe a few powders and roast it.

i fully believe that anyone who hates some of these vegetables (mainly brroccoli and brussels sprouts) jsut have them horribly steamed and season-less

>>18810301
did you ever even consider the simple oven rroasting it

You just pretend you are a giant eating alien trees. That's all the seasoning you need

>>18807799
Toss in some oilve oil, balsamic, crushed garlic, coarse salt, pepper, and thyme. Roast in oven.
