Whenever I make vegetables, I challenge myself with a game: make them so good that they’ll want seconds. So when my carnivore husband asked for not seconds, but thirds of this broccoli rice, I knew I had scored high points.
This recipe comes together quickly for a simple but delicious side, as the base for a stir-fry or my favourite bowl meal, the broccoli rice and egg bowl. Simply layer the broccoli rice with a fried egg and parmesan shavings for the perfect meal. A meal which, to date, I’ve had for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So, yes, an all-around winner.
