The most important thing that anyone who is going to cook broccoli should know is that they should never be overcooked.
Otherwise, instead of an appetizing side dish, you will get porridge with an unattractive olive hue.
Besides this, there is very little benefit in such a dish.
If you want to cook the cabbage until it is ready, while preserving its color, shape and, of course, its beneficial properties, you should follow the diagram below.
First, rinse the vegetable by placing it under running water, then remove the lower part of the stem and leaves from the head of cabbage. Finally, cut off the inflorescences.
Broccoli should be thrown into the water when it has already boiled, then reduce the heat and cook for 2 minutes if you want the vegetable to remain crispy.
4 minutes is enough for broccoli if you want it to just have a slight crunch on your teeth.
Finally, 6 minutes will be enough to get soft cabbage.
Finally, use a simple life hack that will help you preserve the bright color of the fruit: to do this, place the finished inflorescences in ice or a container filled with cold water for literally a minute.
