How to cook fresh broccoli !

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Trim the broccoli into serving size pieces. Put the broccoli, a few pieces at a time into the boiling water, don't over load the pot and never cover a green vegetable while it's cooking!!!! Cook the broccoli for 3 to 5 minutes, just until the stalk is tender then remove it from the pot and put it into ice water. Repeat with the remaining pieces of broccoli. You can either reheat the broccoli at serving time in a microwave or just put it back into the cooking pot for a minute or so.
