This recipe is for spiffing up the boring old green veggies.
Broccoli
Spinach
Brussels Sprouts
String beans (green beans)
Asparagus - spears or tips
If using frozen vegs, let them thaw out some or put in microwave until thawed. Keep the water.
Take a huge amount of garlic, like 6 cloves or more if you are nuts about garlic like me!
Put the garlic through a garlic press and put the mushed bits left over in the pan too. Toss in some olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan and let the garlic toast a bit. Not too much though!
Toss in the veggies of the day, and mix with the garlic & oil to cover well. Add some salt if you like now.
When the veggies you are using is heated up well, add a small amount of water and cover. Let the veggies cook until pretty well done and then remove the lid to let the water evaporate.
There should be some 'gunk' forming on the veggies and pan bottom and let the water reduce off now, watching not to burn the veggies or garlic.
Serve Spinach and Broccoli with lemon wedges and the sprouts and Asparagus as is.
Oh this is heaven.
