Broccoli in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make broccoli in a slow cooker? Prepare all products. Choose cabbage that is bright green in color; the heads should be firm to the touch. You can also use frozen cabbage, only in this case you need to defrost it correctly: after freezing, put the cabbage in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours and only then completely defrost it at room temperature. Then be sure to drain the released liquid and dry the broccoli florets a little.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the broccoli well. It is best to do this with hot water or use a special vegetable washing product. Cabbage inflorescences are quite small and quite a lot of dirt can accumulate there. Remove the main stalk and cut into small inflorescences.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take out the multicooker bowl and pour vegetable oil into it. The oil can be anything from corn to olive, but it must be refined - only refined oils can be heat treated.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the broccoli in the multicooker bowl. If you wish, at this stage you can add some of your favorite herbs and seasonings to the dish: for some, ground hot pepper will be enough, for others, a clove of garlic or garlic powder will add piquancy, and for others, a pinch of Provençal herbs will be enough. Focus on your taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Lightly salt the cabbage. Turn on the "Extinguishing" mode. As a rule, in standard multicookers, the cooking time in this mode starts from 30 minutes. If your device model allows, reduce it to 7-10 minutes. Cabbage should not turn into mush, but retain maximum benefits. The time is indicated approximately, as it will depend on the power and operating features of your multicooker. Read more about this in the article at the link at the end of the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   A healthy side dish is ready. This broccoli turns out to be bright green, thereby showing that it has retained the maximum of nutrients. Bon appetit!

I cooked broccoli for a side dish in a slow cooker. I had frozen broccoli, I first defrosted it in the refrigerator. The only spices I added were salt. It only took me 7 minutes to prepare. The minimum time for the “Stew” mode on my multicooker starts at 30 minutes, so I had to keep an eye on the cooking time. The broccoli turned out soft, but not overcooked, a little crunchy, with a bright natural taste. I really liked this method of cooking, it’s even faster than just boiling cabbage. For my family, 400 grams of broccoli for a side dish was not enough, so I served it with pasta. Thank you very much for the recipe!
