the world’s best broccoli?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The drought is wreaking havoc with Georgia farmers, in obvious ways like crops that die or never get planted, and in less expected ways. I’ve bought some Georgia peaches that are barely bigger than a walnut, something caused by lack of water, although they are sweeter than normal. This week we’re cooking a bunch of broccoli. At our CSA, Cane Creek Farm, the dry weather caused all of the broccoli to mature at once, rather than over several weeks. My favorite way to fix broccoli is to just steam it for four minutes or so, until tender, than sprinkle it with a little salt and some garlic-flavored olive oil. My kids say it’s better than the broccoli at Pig-N-Chik, big praise from them because they love the Pig’s garlicky broccoli. I made a big batch of cream of broccoli soup, a good way to use up all the stalks as well as the crowns, but my pint-sized critics weren’t impressed. If we get any more, I’m thinking broccoli, bacon and raisin salad — everything’s better with bacon. What’s your favorite way to cook broccoli? Any secrets for kid appeal other than cheese sauce?
