Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ onion chopped

  • 2 heads broccoli cut into florets

  • ½ pound crispy bacon

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (special occasion ingredient) use sparingly

  • 2 tablespoons beef or chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic minced

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. To make the Garlic Bacon Broccoli Skillet: Put broccoli florets into a food processor and pulse two or three times until you get coarse broccoli rice

  2. Heat the butter and oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion until softened (about 3 minutes).

  3. Add the riced broccoli and cook for about 2-3 minutes stirring from time to time. Once broccoli is crisp-tender, add cheddar and bacon to the skillet. Cook until the mixture golden and slightly caramelized – about 8-10 minutes.

  4. Pour in the vegetable stock and cook for 2 minutes, to reduce the sauce slightly. Add more stock to deglaze if necessary.

  5. Add thyme, 1 tablespoon of parsley, and garlic. Cook the broccoli, bacon, and cheddar for half a minute, until fragrant. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste, sprinkle with remaining parsley, and serve the Garlic Bacon Broccoli Skillet immediately. Enjoy!
