Abundantly rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, broccoli contains ample fiber, vitamins a, c, k, and the b-complex. Keep in mind that microwaving and boiling destroy these heat-sensitive nutrients, while a quick steam saut like this one preserves their vital composition. This is a great accompaniment to a macro bowl, with seafood, perfect roast chicken or sesame crusted tofu. In the variations below, you'll see options for adding sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and even a touch of sweetness with golden raisins.
