Simple, healthy – the perfect salad – great with roast chicken – and, as always, Ina adds just the right touch of seasoning to make an ordinary dish extraordinary.

Nice choice for Ina Fridays. Anything is better with garlic!
I love broccoli, so I’ll definitely be trying this. Thanks!
I usually just steam my crowns, but I’m going to try this!
Ok, that has all my favorites so I will definitely try this. Thanks.
MMM! Well, that’s lunch sorted for today!
Have a great weekend too!
I don’t think I’ve had something from an ‘Ina’ recipe that I haven’t loved. I haven’t yet tried this, but it looks like a winner.
Thanks for helping me decide what to have with the chicken tonight for dinner. Always can count on you for special recipes.
Always love a simple broccoli dish. Must try this one soon.
I’ve had spinach, chard, zucchini, and mushrooms cooked with garlic and red pepper flakes—time for broccoli. It looks good!
So simple, so beautiful. So classy!
Beautiful dish! So pretty and I know, I know, I am weird! But I L O V E broccoli so I will be trying this. I am mentioning to everyone that knows LV (LaVoice) from her log Thoughts from Meme’s Corner or not to please send her a get well card. Her niece is Suzanne at ColoradoLady. LV got really sick and they don’t know what is wrong. She loves everyone and would love cards. Just send me an email if you want her address:phamilybusiness1@aim.com
Happy week to you and enjoy!
Gorgeous, gorgeous green…so springy. I have a recipe where I sauté broccoli florets with garlic and ginger–sounds similar. But I think the infused oil would be perfect here. Sounds like a whole dinner. Maybe some brown rice. Happy Cinco de Mayo! (beautiful pics)
I usually forget to dress up broccoli. I’m going to try this soon.
After making this I’d never make broccoli again any other way. So gooooood.
Thank you
