Trying to Rediscover a Broccoli Recipe

Possibly blanched. I do that with a lot of vegetables. Just put it in boiling water for a very short time, about 30 seconds, then strain and immediately put it in cold water. Add salt and a little bit of lemon. Works for most vegetables from spinach to broccoli. Boil time varies for size and type of vegetables

Whoa, this sounds interesting to try.

I forget how long I would do broccoli, i think 30-45s. You should notice the color change from the darker green to a brighter green and it won't be soggy at all.

If you do something like spinach it gets a little more complicated because you need to do it like a max of 20-25s, cool it down immediately and then wring the water out of it by squeezing it before seasoning it - a little extra salt on these work well to make them less soggy. It works great with leafy greens if you want to eat a lot of them in very few bites.
