Garlicky Crumb-coated Broccoli - FFWD

FFWD for this week - and it was the best broccoli I’ve ever eaten! Broccoli is our default vegetable so we eat a lot of it...mostly plain but sometimes with a sprinkle of lemon juice - it gets boring. I am very glad to now have a new way of serving it! Even though I love mint and parsley, I didn’t use either of them. I just thought they may not be needed and the rest of the ingredients were simply great together: garlic, lemon, butter, salt, and bread crumbs (from a fresh loaf of French bread - made with 1/3 sprouted whole wheat flour :)).

In a burst of uncreativity, we had this with even more garlic and lemon on the chicken (Chicken Thighs Baked with Sage, Rosemary, & Thyme from Bill Devin, Fine Cooking Magazine #46).

    So glad this was THE BEST BROCCOLI you've ever eaten! It's pretty amazing isn't it? Love that your crumbs held nicely to your broccoli and you were able to get such great shots of it!

    It isn't uncreativity at all...it's creatively pairing food with a theme! :)

    I don't believe there can ever be too much garlic and lemon, so your chicken sounds like a great match.

    Thanks for the nice comments, everyone :)

    Steph and onwetfoot, you are right, of course...garlic and lemon is a good theme!

    Looking at your broccoli blogs, it appears I am not the only one that didn't use parsley or mint. Made cooking this a bit easier.

    glad you enjoyed! It's always so nice to find a new take on an old staple... There are very few foods that can be messed up by the addition of garlic or lemon!
