I Wish There Was More!

So it’s a side dish. . . How great can a side dish be really?

Well, this was amazing! I wish I had doubled the recipe. Everyone wanted more.

The recipe calls to remove the garlic, but it’s minced so I’m not sure how this is supposed to be done. I was not going to pick little pieces of garlic out of the cooked onion, so I left it in.

For the pepper I used a long Thai chili from our garden. I used my knife to split it down the center. This allowed the chili juices to release into the dish, but not too much.

The broccoli after 12 minutes was the perfect blend of cooked through, but still somewhat crisp.

The flavor was unbelievable! All the ingredients blended perfectly together. There was just enough salt, and just a hint of heat.

This was the perfect side dish!
