Dishes from broccoli are not popularly loved, but in vain - broccoli is a vegetable that is very useful for the human body. Part of the reason for the unpopularity lies in the fact that people simply do not know what can be prepared from this vegetable. If you have a steamer, then cook the broccoli in it - it will be very tasty, in addition, all the nutrients will be preserved in the vegetable.

Pour a glass of water into the inner cup or tank of the steamer, place the drip tray and cup or steam basket. Put broccoli in it, cover with a lid, cook for 15 minutes - it should soften, retaining its bright green color.
