Broccoli Mash
Broccoli !!! I grew up eating them and I haven't really hated it, probably cause my mum knew how to cook it right. As an adult now, I so enjoy raw broccoli in my salads. Mr.husband on the other hand, did not grow up eating it, isn't a big fan of broccoli and complains if he has too much of it on his plate! So when I pulled out two broccolis out of the grocery bag and began munching on them while chopping them, he wasn't really sure if he was going to like this dish (he didn't even know what I was going to make LOL). He refused to munch on a piece of raw broc and thought it was quite gross LOL
I placed the broccoli mash on the table along with the rest of whatever I cooked for lunch. K spooned some of the mash on his plate and it didn't click in his brains that the raw broccoli that I was munching on was that green mash LOL ... I asked him what he thought of lunch and he said that he was actually very impressed with the broccoli mash! YAY! he apparently thought it was something minty when he saw me place the bowl on the table
So if you hate broccoli as much as K does, you should try this ... the flavour is great and the onions + garlic and that little butter totally makes this yum!
Its healthy too AND lower in calories unlike mashed potatoes :)

Shrimp and Broccoli Tartare Style Croquettes Shrimp and Broccoli Tartare Style Croquettes
This year Valentines Day falls on a weekday, and my boyfriend hates chocolates, and I was at a loss for what to do... So I figured, why not make croquettes?! lol. It took a lot of effort to make fried food on a weekday, but I gave it my all! My boyfriend was happy with the end result These croquettes were made with spring in mind. I was actually going to make them with broccolini, but they were sold out that day, so I used broccoli instead...You can use both the stems and florets of the broccoli. Using 50 g each of the stems and florets of the broccoli will improve the color and texture of the croquettes. Recipe by ochikeron

Broccoli Stem Potage Broccoli Stem Potage
The stem of a head of broccoli I bought were so thick and grand.Usually I peel, slice thinly and boil them or something, but I thought I'd try making a soup out of them.It depends on the broccoli you have, but the thick stems are fibrous, so you need to peel them thickly or the soup may be grainy.The stems I used this time weighed more than 300 g.If you add the green parts of the broccoli too, the soup will be brighter in color. I used the stems only this time, so the soup is just a very light green. Recipe by Junchan -

Broccoli with Silken Tofu Sauce Broccoli with Silken Tofu Sauce
I like to try various delicious ways of eating broccoli when it's in season.The sauce is on the salty side. The broccoli tastes best if you quickly blanch it so that it's still firm. It's very satisfying, but if you want to make it richer, you can lightly saute the broccoli and mix crab sticks or finely shredded shrimp into the sauce. Recipe by Hoink -
