We wash 1 medium-sized broccoli and place it in a pot. We add water up to halfway up the broccoli in the pot. We add 1 dessert spoon (about 2 tsp) of salt and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and let it boil. Once the broccoli is boiled, we drain it thoroughly, separate it into individual florets, and drizzle olive oil over the top. We squeeze as much lemon as we like and serve it just like that. Enjoy your meal...

About This Recipe

Broccoli, which can be found fresh in supermarkets year-round, is a very important vegetable in terms of nutritional value. Even though children and meat lovers may not enjoy the taste of broccoli, it is one of the most important vegetables that should be consumed frequently. Broccoli belongs to the Brassicaceae family, along with cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, and Brussels sprouts.

The most important point to pay attention to when buying broccoli is that its color should be dark green. Right after that, make sure its stems are firm and crisp. Yellowed or wilted broccoli will have reduced nutritional value and will not be of any use — do not buy it. While we're on the subject, it's worth noting right away: 100 grams of raw broccoli provides about 5% of an adult's daily iron and magnesium minerals, and approximately 10% of daily vitamins.
