How to cook broccoli

Ah! Tha age old question. Ranks right up there with "How do I make chicken taste better?" 
Cheese makes anything taste better. If you're cutting, disregard that.
Another option is to stir fry it in olive oil. This works well for frozen broc. Throw it in the HOT pan with some olive oil or whatever lube you're using and cover with lid. Stir it every once and a while so it doesn't burn. Cooks fast.

When cooking it in a pan with olive oil add some red peppers! They help a lot I've found.

I mostly use frozen broccoli.... due to cost & cuz it just lasts longer.....
I get a plastic bowl, put the broccoli in & pour a little broth over it then microwave it. I use a pair of kitchen shears to cut it up into little pieces & will mix with peppers, mushrooms, etc & use in a variety of dishes....
Spices are your friend!! Mrs. Dash makes a good variety of flavors.

the best way to cook veggies is to steam them. dont boil them cause this will drain out some of the nutrients.

Steaming is the way to go! Doesn't rank hi with taste, but make the veggies eatable.

I have one, I did this just last night:
Put about 2 tablespoons on olive oil and some crushed garlic in a casserole dish, throw in 1/2 bag of frozen broccoli, mix it together so the oil and garlic coats the broccoli, cook in the microwave as directed - good stuff!!

Stir frying broccoli and mircowaving it?? surely these are the very 2 things that woudl destroy the nutrients.
Steaming is the only way to go. I just soak mine in hot water for a few minutes and eat it. Hated it at first but after a while you aquire the taste. The trick is not to have broc everyday. I have mine twice a week.

That's how I do it.Zebo said:
Ever since I got a rice cooker/vegetable steamer for Christmas I've been eating a lot more vegetables... I steam everything. I just had some steamed corn-on-the-cob the other day and it was awesome. I've also done broccoli, carrots, yams, green beans, etc... All fantastic.

You're right about the damaged to the nutrients should broccoli be stir-fried or mircrowaved. Steaming is excellent and it is the best way to eat brocolli.
Lightly steamed with a steamer (hot mist like they use with dim sims), if not then a quick throw into hot water will do.(never to let it oxidated though)
I don't know about not having broc everyday. I do know that it is ranked as the most nutritious vegetable out there, however alot of broc consumption are known to give bloatedness effect though.

Sounds real good jenscat but I would be careful if you are cooking in the microwave with plastic - something I heard about the plastic molecules mixing in with your food, just something you might want to ask around about.

Yep, I heard that too....but they were talking about heating things up in the plastic type of containers that butter/margarine/ricotta cheese, etc come in -- they are not meant for heating & melt when heated.... (well, if it's the same article)
The stuff I have is the Tupperware, etc brand....meant to be heated...
I just steam or microwave the little guys and top with a tiny bit of this 0 calorie syrup I have. Sugar free syrup would work just as well i assume. Makes the taste very sweet and actually makes me look forward to the broccoli. Now cauliflower on the other hand is the food of the gods and I only eat that stuff plain.

what you gotta do is add your spices to the "steamed" broccoli.
here we got some garlic, and "BAM" we add the garlic!
I learned that from Emeril. Dude is one hell of a powerlifter in his spare time.
