Ingredients

  • Ingredients
  • 2 heads broccoli ( about 2 lbs)
  • 1 juice orange (about 1/3 cup orange juice)
  • 1 tsp. butter
  • 2 TB. toasted sesame seeds (*see directions below)

Directions

*Preheat oven to 350. Pour (raw) sesame seeds on a nonstick baking sheet (1 Cup of sesame is a good amount). Bake for about 10 minutes until golden, stirring frequently. Remove from the oven, let cool. Store the extra in a jar in the fridge.

Cut broccoli into florets, leaving on a bit of the stem.
Steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to large bowl.

While broccoli is cooking, start the sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the juice of the orange, raise the heat to medium and reduce the liquid by half while the broccoli is cooking. Add the sesame seeds to the sauce just before drizzling it over the broccoli. Serve while warm.

Serves: 4-6.
