Why You’ll Love Broccoli with Feta
This 🥦 Broccoli with Feta recipe will bring new life to boring broccoli. All you need is 2 additional minutes after steaming to unlock a new level of flavor. A quick sauté in 🫒 oil and garlic 🧄 is simply perfection and by crumbling creamy and salty feta over the dish makes this irresistible. I love the addition of dill here, but you can use whatever chopped fresh 🌿 herb you like. It’s a side dish that comes together in minutes but no one will ever forget it.
How to Prepare Broccoli with Feta
🔪 First, peel a little bit off the broccoli stem with a peeler and then cut it into equal-sized pieces. Cut or break the broccoli crown into florets. 🧂 In a large pot on the stove, boil water and add salt. 🥦 Boil the broccoli for 2 minutes making sure it still has a bite to it and is not mushy. 🧄 Meanwhile, slice up the garlic into thin slices and then add it to a pan with olive oil. 🔥 Now, turn the heat to medium, let it come up to temperature and then let the garlic infuse with the oil. 🥄 Once the garlic sizzles (be careful not to burn it), add in the cooked broccoli and give it a mix. ⏲️ Next, add in the feta and let it melt if you want to for about 1-2 minutes. 🌿 Take it off the heat and garnish with a little bit of fresh finely and finely chopped dill. Enjoy
