Submitted by Geema

"I use this quick and easy side dish to serve to those people who claim to not like vegetables...especially broccoli. This recipe works just as well with cauliflower, kale, zucchini, even fennel and onions."

It is tasty, however could use a bit of kick. There was also a bunch of watery liquid in the bottom.

A delicious side dish. Apart from adding 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 medium-sized onion, also minced (I sautéed both for about 3 minutes), I made this exactly to the recipe. Very yummy. Thanks for sharing. I'll be making this again.
