I just sort of made this up. I boiled the water and simmered the brocolli until it was pretty much done. Than I strained it, back in the pan. Threw some sesame oil and soy sauce and a very little bit of beef broth. stirred it around and heated it up in the pan. I liked it and my DH made a comment about it...saying that it was good.

My DIL makes a wonderful salad with the same base and adds raisins, apples and nuts. Yummy!

broccoli and cauloflower sandwiches.
steam the B & C florets till their tender, put them in pita with mayo, sliced onions, and if you please raw cabbage or lettuce little S&P and your golden. sounds odd, but it really is one of the favourites round this house!
another one (although this is for Cauliflower not broccoli).
steam C, mash up with just a touch of mayo, chopped onion, S&P. then put in between two peices of bread with some grated cheese, butter the outside of the bread (as you would grilled cheese) and fry (as you would grilled cheese). OMG this is good!!

It's also nice with some stem ginger or fresh ginger, finely chopped and mixed through it with a knob of butter.

I think it takes a bit more than that, although not much  According to the The World's Healthiest Foods Web site (extensively referenced), 1 cup of broccoli has 205% of your calcium needs, so you'd need 1/2 cup to get 100% or so. That's probably 3-4 florets.
Here's broccoli's nutritional profile: WHFoods: Broccoli

What is stem ginger, Csalt?
Garlic, I never stop at one floret of broccoli, anyway. In fact, I love the stuff so much, I tend to over-indulge. (Talk about going green!  )

My family will eat almost anything with cheese on it. I make it really lazy. I buy the steam fresh b\c you can cook it in the bag in the microwave. Then I just sprinkle it with fat free cheese any kind will do. They love it and I have a 3 yr 6yr and a 7yr old.
