Great tasting and VERY easy to make! I steamed my broccoli in the microwave instead and used rosemary instead of oregano (didn't have any). My 7 year old son even loved it! -
Loved this recipe for the taste and ease of making it. I also like to cook fresh broccoli in the microwave because it stays crisp and green in color. In a 2 qt. casserole, add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and microwave 8 to 10 minutes for crisp tender. -
It was nice but not as special I was hoping for. I would put a lot more herbs in as I didn't taste them that much - still, I love my broccoli so I enjoyed it.

I steamed the broccoli in my steamer for about 8 minutes instead of boiling it. I also used cherry tomatoes as this is what came in my vege box this week. I loved the taste and texture of this dish & loved the change - I normally stir fry broccoli so it was good to try something different. Thanks! -
Very tasty and pretty too.

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
