Chopped Broccoli with Garlic Aioli

Love steamed chopped broccoli, but add some garlic aioli and you've got a really tasty vegetable dish. Garlic aioli is just a fancy name for crushed raw garlic mixed in with mayonnaise. I know this sounds a little weird, garlic mayonnaise and broccoli, but give it a try and it will be a new favorite vegetable dish.

 

I love this garlic press, so easy to clean!

Ingredients:
1 large head broccoli
1/8 cup lite mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves
couple of drops fresh lemon juice of lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:
Prepare a large steamer to cook the broccoli. Break the head of broccoli up into individual florets and place in the steamer and cook for 3 - 4 minute. You don't want to over cook the broccoli. The key to this dish is to cook the broccoli al dente, firm to the bite.

While the broccoli is cooking, take your garlic press and crush the garlic cloves. Scrape the garlic into  a bowl with the mayonnaise and mix well. Transfer the content to a small serving bowl.
 

When the broccoli is done, place the contents onto a cutting board and rough chop the broccoli into bite size pieces. Transfer the chopped broccoli to a serving plate and place the garlic aioli in the middle of the broccoli.
