Broccoli Piquant

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

This is a country-style dish that’s good with pork chops.

Yield: 4 servings, each with 7 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fiber, for a total of 4 grams of usable carbs and 5 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 bag (1 pound) frozen broccoli “cuts”

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Steam or microwave the broccoli until just tender-crisp.

  3. Drain the cooked broccoli and add it to the bacon fat in the skillet. Add the crushed garlic and cider vinegar, and stir over medium heat for a minute or two.
  4. Crumble the bacon over the broccoli, stir for another minute or so, and serve
