Do you think a broccoli recipe can be considered OMG-worthy? At first, I’d say no. I mean, broccoli? Really? But after this recipe, I just may have to rethink that answer. I love roasted broccoli. I love broccoli cranberry salad. I love broccoli with maple syrup. But now I have a new way to love it. Caramelized with Garlic. The recipe comes from the September 2008 issue of Food & Wine magazine, and was listed in a 30 Best Fast Recipes Ever article. I completely agree with the best and fast assessment. It took just minutes to get it going and didn’t require too much babysitting.
It’s quite possible that I ate the whole batch myself (although I did halve the recipe!), but Madeline did have a bunch herself, and every time she finished her portion, she fussed for more. That kind of fussing I like! Nick, on the other hand, has a love/hate relationship with broccoli. He went through a phase where he only ate the stalk portions. Then he switched and only ate the tops. Now he says he doesn’t like it, although I got him to try one piece this time (house rule) and he sheepishly admitted he liked it.
Like broccoli? MAKE THIS. I promise you won’t be disappointed. You can come back and thank me once you clear your plate too.
