Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of my earliest posts on this blog was an ode to brassica, better known as broccoli (image: Sam Ley, Creative Commons). I wrote then:

I don’t know about you, but to me, the best way to enjoy vegetables is not to steam or boil them until they’re mush, but to temper and cook them with just the right amount and mix of seasonings – sometimes not very many – so that you can really experience the inherent goodness of the vegetable.
