Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1 small head of broccoli into florets — about 2 cups
  • salt for the water — or you can salt it after
  • 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic into thin slices
  • measure feta with your heart
  • fresh dill is optional but so delicious

Instructions 

  • Peel a little bit off the broccoli stem with a peeler and cut it into equal sized pieces. Cut or break the broccoli crown into florets.
  • Boil water on the stove and salt it. Boil the broccoli for 2 minutes making sure it still has a bite to it and it’s not mushy. Slice up the garlic into thin slices and add it to a pan with olive oil. Turn on the heat to medium and let it come up to temperature and let the garlic infuse with the oil.
  • Once the garlic sizzles (be careful not to burn it) you can add in the cooked broccoli and give it a mix. Add in the feta and let it melt if you want to for about 1-2 minutes.
  • Take it off the heat and garnish with a little bit of fresh finely and finely chopped dill. Enjoy

Notes

I used Bulgarian-Style Feta but you can use any you have on hand.
Dill is optional but really underrated and delicious, we use dill in everything in Bulgaria and it’s absolutely a must for me.
If you don’t like broccoli you can do make this recipe with almost any other vegetable.
You can salt the boiling water or even salt the broccoli at the end which I will leave up to you.

Hi! I'm Sneji. Nice to meet you!

I am more commonly known as “The Modern Nonna” on social media where I create easy home cooked meals with a modern twist. I was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria and learned how to cook at the best culinary school in the world – my grandma’s kitchen. I lived in Greece on the Island of Crete with my parents for a while and then moved to Toronto, Canada when I was in grade 5. I started to really cook and experiment with food 11 years ago when I was 21 years old. Everything I currently know is a reflection of some part of my life…
