Ingredients
- 1 small onion (omit depending on taste – we did! 😉)
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1 large head broccoli ((about 4 cups) If needed substitute a 10 oz. frozen bag of florets will do)
- 1- inch piece ginger, grated (we didn’t have fresh ginger on hand, so we substituted in ginger powder – worked perfectly!)
- 1 cup roasted cashews
- 2-3 Tbsp. soy sauce (we used coconut aminos)
- Sesame seeds for topping
For serving
- Brown rice,quinoa, noodles, couscous etc.
Instructions
- Begin cooking rice or quinoa (or do this ahead of time so it’s ready to go.)
- Meanwhile, thinly slice onion.
- Drizzle small amount of olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat, sauté onion for 8-10 mins.
- Meanwhile, mince garlic, grate ginger (peeled if desired) & cut broccoli into florets.
- When onion is translucent, add garlic, ginger & broccoli. Stir & mix.
- Add 1/4 cup water, cover & let broccoli steam for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. (Important: keep an eye on it & add more water as needed to keep the pan from drying out.)
- Add cashews & soy sauce. (Start with 2 Tbsp. & add more as desired.)
- Stir well & heat another 2-3 mins or until broccoli is desired tenderness.
- Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds over a warm bed of rice or quinoa.
