Cooking Broccoli on Stove-Top

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil.
  • Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Strain broccoli from water and allow to cool until it can be handled.
  • Chop up florets into small bits, almost like a coarse grain consistency.

Cooking Broccoli in Microwave

  • Add broccoli florets to a microwave-safe bowl and top with 1 tablespoon of water.
  • Cook in microwave for 2 minutes. May need 1 minute longer depending on microwave but test to see if it’s cooked through at 2 minutes.
  • Remove from microwave and let cool for a few minutes or until it can be handled.
  • Chop up florets into small bits, almost like a coarse grain consistency.

Making Fritters

  • In a large bowl combine chopped up broccoli with all other ingredients (except oil). Stir to combine.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Spoon roughly a ¼ cup of batter into the pan and flatten with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Repeat until batter is all used. Do not overcrowd pan. Cook in batches, adding oil in between if necessary.
  • Serve warm or store in fridge and reheat. Will keep in fridge for up to 3 days.
