BroccoLeaf is the newest member of the Super Greens family. BroccoLeaf is a delicious and mild green for the nutritional punch it packs. Simply cook and serve as is or use this recipe as a base for almost any culinary creation you can imagine.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch BroccoLeaf
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced or sliced fresh garlic
  • 1 pinch crushed red chili flakes

Directions:

  1. Trim the BroccoLeaf stems where they meet the leaves. Reserve the stems for fresh BroccoLeaf juice. Roll the trimmed leaves lengthwise so they resemble a rolled cigar. Holding the roll with one hand, slice the leaves crosswise into thin ½” wide “noodles”.
  2. Heat a medium-size non-stick sauté pan or cast iron skillet; 9-1/2 inches in diameter is best. Add the olive oil and heat just until it ripples. Add the garlic, stir and sauté just until it begins to caramelize.
  3. Add the BroccoLeaf “noodles” and water, cover and steam for 2 minutes. When the BroccoLeaf is soft and bright green, season to taste with crushed red chili flakes.
