Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 One of my favorite uses for cooked broccoli is cold pasta salad using either tofu mayo or an oil/vinegar type dressing. Use your imagination as far as other veggies or ingredients or just go with the broccoli. Rice-parmesan is a nice touch for use with oil/vinegar dressings. Roy Samuel - sahmomof8 Tuesday, April 19, 2005 8:15 AM Broccoli Anyone have a good recipe to use cooked broccoli in? I have a bunch left over from dinner two nights ago. I don't want to waste it, but I have no idea what to do with it! Soup? Casserole? Ideas anyone?

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 My goodness! I started a flood of e-mail about " used " broccoli today! LOL! I made some with GF pasta for lunch. I have enough left over for one more meal. But it's pretty soggy! I don't know how it'll be by tomorrow. In any case, the next time I have leftover broccoli, I won't have to ask for advice!

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I like to bake broccoli in a covered casserole with some onion ( sometimes red, sometimes white) and a variety of other veges (carrots, cauliflower, or zucchuni) . Bake at 400 deg F for 35-45 minuted covered. I usually just spice with pepper and a very little salt.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Has anyone tried broccoli slaw? I saw a bag of shredded broccoli in the organic section of the local grocery, next to the shredded cabbage for cole slaw. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 What I like to do is bake a couple of potatoes. While the potatoes are cooking, I cook broccoli florets (boil or nuke) and make one of the low-fat fake cheese sauces (see the Files). When the potatoes are done, halve them, and mash the insides a bit with a fork. Cover the open potato halves with cooked broccoli and cover with cheesy sauce. I usually nuke this arrangement for a couple of minutes to make sure all is hot and ready to eat. from Maida Citizens for Pets in Condos, http://www.petsincondos.org South Florida Vegetarian Events, http://www.soflavegevents.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hey, maybe I could incorporate a couple of these ideas you guys have tossed out :=) Broccoli and onions, say, baked with cheezy sauce. The thing about broccoli is that I like it cooked or raw (yeah, broccoli slaw - although I don't buy it already shredded since I get mine from the organic section which is less innovative - here, at any rate.), western or asian style. My fave is in an Indian 'curry' dish with potatoes - or is it with dried chinese mushrooms and fresh mushrooms with ginger? And with cheezy sauce, yes! And it's great in creamy soups, zapped with the blender thing, or chopped into rice dishes. Very versatile. Just searching for something really out of the ordinary for a dazzling change. I'm gonna go through all my cookbooks and then I'm gonna search the net and report back, okay? Broccoli - pretty little baby trees :=) Luv, pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 >If our broccoli stems aren't eaten while I'm cooking I generally grate them like I would a carrot and add to stir-fry or make broccoli slaw. I cut them in fine strips - as if they were bamboo shoots - and add to stir-fry, never tried broccoli slaw, but I do love to chop up those stems (always so many stems!) simmer them with stuff, puree, and add soft tofu for cream of broccoli soup. A shake of fake parmesan over that and I'm in heaven! Why oh why does broccoli get such a bad rap!!! LOL love, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 As with everything in life, you have to pick and choose what works for you. If you enjoy broccoli or feel like it helps you that is great. One thing to keep in mind through all of this is that these " experts " who are telling you about what foods you should be eating are generally the first to tell you that a raw food diet isn't healthy. Virtually all of the nutritional research is based on a cooked plant and animal based diet and what you need to do to live better on that type of diet. It is my firm belief that most of their conclusions don't apply to raw foodists. E.g. nutritionists tell you, you should eat protein with breakfast to help stabalize your blood sugar throughout the day. This is helpful if you are on cooked food diet where you are eating a lot of grains. For myself, I find that when I am eating raw my blood sugar is rock solid throughout the day without this morning protein. -Mike --- Judy Cozza <judycozza wrote: > I know there are a lot of comments about not eating broccoli but > remember - variety in our diets are crucial.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I find Mike's point very believable; it makes sense to me. I also understand that one can research any and every piece of raw food information and find conflicting studies/evidence. The reason for that in my opinion is because there are so many different personal biological and environmental factors involved at the time of those studies, so what may work for one person may not work for another. Proper food combining is another issue. Was the broccoli eaten raw and alone, on a 4-hour empty stomach, or was it improperly combined with fruit in a salad other than citrus, or was it improperly combined with both a protein and a starch? I learned that broccoli sprouts are at least 50 times more potent than the broccoli florettes in anti-cancer agents. So I rarely eat broccoli florettes; if I do they're dipped in a raw nut cheese as a snack along with celery. I douse almost every salad I make with broccoli (and other) sprouts! -Tiffany Judy Cozza <judycozza wrote: Way to go Mike. I love you - but Dr. Chen is a raw foodist - vegan!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Sorry, Judy but I don't go with the degree people. I would go with her IF she had studed Natural Hygiene. I eat one fruit at a time and some times I only eat the same fruit for two weeks. I've been eating just watermelon for 10 days. And before that it was mangos only. Our original diets did not include broccoli, sorry. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
