Ingredients

4 servings

1 large head broccoli (about 1.5 lb), cut into florets
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Pour about 1 inch of water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Set a steamer basket inside — the water should sit just below the basket.
2
Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket in a single layer, cover tightly, and steam until the florets are bright green and a fork slides into the thickest stem with just slight resistance, 5–7 minutes.
