Notes
Side dishes do not need to be complicated or drenched in sauce or oil to be delicious. This way of preparing the broccoli locks in the goodness, keeps some crunch and colour and tastes delicious,. Broccoli is high in glycosinolates which are compounds that are protective against oestrogenic cancers and help to boost liver detoxification of excess oestrogens that we take in from medications, plastic and the environment.
