#ChristmasGift
Broccoli is Mother nature’s gift to us for a healthy life. Rich in fiber. Minerals (Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Zinc, Phosphorus), Vitamins (A, B6, B12, D, E and K). It contains a sulfur compound called sulforaphane BP, good for immunity. Broccoli reduces the risk for type 2 diabetes, and osteoarthritis. Good for heart and brain health. Prevents cancer. Spicy, cheesy broccoli is good for all seasons, not just for winter. It is good for holiday season when you are partying too. I cook healthy food and serve healthy food

Blanch Broccoli. Immerse the vegetables in boiling water for 2 minutes, remove the florets from hot water, then drain the water and place in ice cold water to stop the cooking, then remove from ice water, place them in a bowl. This technique colors the vegetables. Nutrients are preserved and vegetables are crisp and retain their natural color

Method1: Transfer the blanched broccoli to a microwave safe bowl. Add salt, spice mix, half the pepper powder and Toss. Add grated cheese. (I grated parmesan cheese on a grater) microwave until the cheese melted (2-3 minutes).
Take out and use a pepper mill to sprinkle pepper powder on top. Crunchy Spicy Cheesy Broccoli is ready to taste

2nd method: To make cheese sauce: Before serving, add 1 cup of milk and spice mixture to the cheese in a bowl. Microwave, until the cheese melts. Then sprinkle with freshly ground pepper powder. whisk the melted cheese mixture. Serve with blanched broccoli as a dip. Or pour cheese sauce over broccoli in the bowl

Method 3: Cheese sauce: Take enough water in a pot and bring it to a boil on high heat. Instead of microwaving, place bowl of cheese mixture over boiling water. The cheese will melt in a few minutes. Guests can dip the broccoli florets in the cheese sauce and enjoy cheese coated broccoli
