Just heard on the news today that if you microwave your broccoli it will
kill all the flavinoids which is about the only good thing in the
vegetable! (That's the things that act as anti-oxidants to kill the
free radicals in your system, or something like that!) Guess have to
get the old steamer out and trash that nasty radiation emitting
microwave.... I feel better and healthier already!!!


Uh - I don't ever cook broccoli in the microwave.

Just cut up a couple heads of it.

Mix 2tbls of chopped garlic, about 2tsp grated lemon rind and a couple
tablespoons olive oil.

Pour garlic/lemon/oil mix in pan and set on high heat for 2-3 minutes.
Drop chopped broccoli in and toss. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and leave on
high heat for 5 minutes.




Yes, I don't understand why anyone would cook any vegetable in the
microwave. It takes little time to heat up a little water on the stove.
