Creamed Broccoli: Superb With or Without Meat

Sometimes, a “same old, same old” dish becomes something spectacular with just the right accessory. Take grilled eggplants, for example. Although they are flavorful enough by themselves especially when dipped in spicy vinegar, they sure can get a lift. Spoon creamed broccoli over them and you have a meatless dish that is colorful with more complex flavors and texture.

For my vegetarian daughter, Sam.

And for us omnivores, the creamed broccoli was served as a side dish to fried chicken. Although most people think there is nothing boring about fried chicken, a vegetable side dish is always welcome. A raw vegetable salad, mashed potatoes or even fries may be universal favorites, but something new can add even more excitement.

Creamed broccoli as a side dish provides a rich sauce for any fried, grilled or broiled dish.

Next Post: Corned Beef Sinigang Inspired by a comment from my daughter about a corned beef sinigang that she enjoyed at Sentro 1771, I cooked a home version — with homemadecorned beef, of course. Amazing. I thought that cooking sinigang with the best broth was the ultimate key until I cooked corned beef sinigang. »
