Great tasting and VERY easy to make! I steamed my broccoli in the microwave instead and used rosemary instead of oregano (didn't have any). My 7 year old son even loved it!

Loved this recipe for the taste and ease of making it. I also like to cook fresh broccoli in the microwave because it stays crisp and green in color. In a 2 qt. casserole, add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and microwave 8 to 10 minutes for crisp tender.

It was nice but not as special I was hoping for. I would put a lot more herbs in as I didn't taste them that much - still, I love my broccoli so I enjoyed it.

I steamed the broccoli in my steamer for about 8 minutes instead of boiling it. I also used cherry tomatoes as this is what came in my vege box this week. I loved the taste and texture of this dish & loved the change - I normally stir fry broccoli so it was good to try something different. Thanks!
