Ann Z's Trick to perfect Brassica oleracea botrytis

IMG_2558w

Broccoli is one of those vegetables that suffers terribly from over-cooking. And it's also one of those vegetables that's easy to overcook. Then it's just a mushy green mess that nobody enjoys. Even if it is in the "super food" category.

Our friend Ann taught us a trick that always works:

Put about 1" of water into the bottom of a pot, add your brassica oleracea and turn on the heat. The moment the water begins to boil, remove from the heat and cover. Allow to stand exactly five minutes, drain and serve.
