Broccoli With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Roasted Garlic

Rita~'s Note:

Try this Roasted Garlic With Herbs and Olive Oil for the roasted garlic. Frozen broccoli for ease, measures 8 cups when frozen but will reduce to half. This makes a great side or take it a fill a chicken breast with it or toss it into cooked pasta for a meatless meal.

Nice way to dress up frozen broccoli and superfast to put together! Talking leftovers, I am going to either turn them into a quiche or throw them in some sundried tomato pasta sauce I have frozen. Thanks for sharing! Made for Veggie Swap July 2010.

For the RSC#14 Hidden Gems Event I made `Rita~s Salmon Surprise Balls Salmon Surprise Balls which received a 5 star review rating from me. And along with that recipe I made this one, which also turned out to be 5 stars. I had pre-cooked the Broccoli in a micro-wave oven (a little water and a touch of salt to retain the color). Then I decided to stir-fry the Broccoli and with the balance of the ingredients in a Teflon pan for about 1-2 minutes, with the broccoli becoming a little crispy. This dish was easy to make and delicious!
