This nutritious broccoli dish is ready in just 10 minutes. Steaming the broccoli retains its vibrant colour and maximises its health benefits. It is then combined with a flavourful Mediterranean dressing made directly in the bowl with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, pepper, onion, feta cheese, and sun-dried tomato for a delicious and simple side.

Method

Quarter the broccoli florets and slice the stems into 1/4" pieces, then allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
Mince or press the garlic and leave it to sit for five minutes.
Place 2" of water in a steamer base and bring it to a rolling boil.
Add the broccoli to the steamer and cook for 5 minutes. If using stem pieces larger than 1/4", begin steaming them 1-2 minutes before adding the florets.
