Three Greenhorns Crumbed Broccoli

This recipe is from a Vancouver restaurant called "The Three Greenhorns". It was a very "In" place to go when it opened about 35 years ago. Their menu was very different from other placed and although this recipe does not seem like much now it was "IN" then. Still very tasty.
