Mollie's Broccoli With Peanut Sauce

This is a quick and easy Mollie Katzen recipe from her new book "The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without". I like it served over rice or spaghetti.

• Ready In: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs broccoli

• Peanut Sauce

• 1  cup peanut butter
• 1  cup hot water
• 2  tablespoons soy sauce

• 2  teaspoons cider vinegar
• 3  tablespoons  finely minced cilantro (optional)

Directions

1. To make the sauce: place peanut butter and hot water in a bowl and whisk until well mixed. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, mix, and set sauce aside while preparing the broccoli.
2. To prepare the broccoli: Remove the tough stem and cut the rest lengthwise into spears. Steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes, or until desired doneness.
3. Serve broccoli, topped with the peanut sauce.
