- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to peel the thick parts of the broccoli stem. Cut the broccoli into large chunks
- Prepare a food processor with the "S" blade, add the broccoli into the bowl of the processor. Pulse until the broccoli is grated and looks like rice or couscous, being careful not to over-pulse.
- Place a pan large enough to hold the broccoli on the stove on medium-high heat.
- Add olive oil, and once you see the oil shimmer, add the grated broccoli and saute for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and cover, cook for 3 minutes.
- Remove the lid, season with salt and pepper and any other seasoning, and serve.
