Steamed Broccoli
From Carl Wust
3/2002
As much as you need
Prep Time: 30 minutes, a very easy dish to prepare

A couple stalks of fresh broccoli per person
Water
Seasoning

• Put about 1 inch of water in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Put Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Slice broccoli into pieces about 2-3 inches long
• Add broccoli to Dutch oven
• Cover. Steam the broccoli for 15-30 minutes until tender. I usually open the oven and "turn" the broccoli (move the top to the bottom) after about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle on seasoning and serve. Try Lawry's Seasoned Salt or Lizy's Complete Seasoning. You can also make up your own vegetable seasoning.
