VIVAGAVE SESAME BROCCOLI

 

Sesame seed oil is a potent antioxidant, broccoli packs the most nutritional punch of any vegetable and VIVAGAVE is a gluten-free fiber find!
Oh and, the fragrance of warm toasted sesame seeds!
 
2 large bunches of broccoli cut into florets
1/4 cup sake 
1 1/2 tblsp tamari
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp agave nectar
2 tblsp VIVAGAVE 
 
1/2 cup Sesame seeds, toasted
 
DIRECTIONS:
I toast the sesame seeds on med-low heat in a non-stick saute pan, keeping an eye on, stirring occasionally, while I prepare the broccoli and sauce. 
 
Steam broccoli until crisp tender. Let cool to room temperature or if you prefer a hot dish make sauce first.
 
Sauce: Combine next 5 ingredients in a bowl and mix well or if serving hot, place mixed ingredients in a small saucepan and heat through.
 
Place Broccoli in a large bowl and toss with sauce and toasted sesame seeds.
 
 
*To make a salad dressing out of the sauce substitute rice wine vinegar for the sake, 2 tblsp rather than 2 tsp sesame oil and about 1/3 a cup of a lighter oil like safflower or canola. 
 
Whisk by hand or use blender.
Taste and adjust seasonings. 
 
Salt and pepper to taste.
 
Bye for now,
 
faye
