Broccoli with onions, garlic, black beans
Woops! I ate the whole thing before taking a photo. It was delicious. This is a good way to eat more broccoli (at least it is for me). Broccoli is a great anti-cancer food. It’s in the brassica family and has all the right stuff for staying healthy.
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic (or 2 small), chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets and peeled stems (or eat the peeled stems as an appetizer!)
- 1/3 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup cooked black beans
- 4 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 lime
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- dash cayenne
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- chopped tomato
- salt and pepper to taste
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until onion softens. Add broccoli and vegetable broth. Reduce heat just a bit, cover (mostly), and steam broccoli for 5 minutes. Add beans, cilantro, lime juice, and spices&herbs and mix well. Cover and cook 1 more minute just until beans are warm through. Serve with avocado and chopped tomato, season to taste.
