Broccoli has long been touted as one of the healthiest vegetable owing to its nutritional makeup. This super food is loaded with fiber, antioxidants to fight cancer and Vitamin C to aid iron absorption.
I have been trying to incorporate Broccoli into our weekly diet for the past 6 months now. But I am at a point where I prefer really quick and nutritious meals with a minimum of hassle. This recipe is my go to recipe these days. Its quick, healthy and delicious.
