2 large broccoli stems and Florette's
Wash well, and cut off the stem.
Do not throw the stem away, it's one of the best parts. I'll show to easily clean the stem in another posting.
Cut into smaller pieces trying to keep some stem on each one.
Peel the stem to remove any woody exterior.
Cover and steam for 3-5 minutes, until just tender and turns bright green. If the rest of your meal isn't finished when the broccoli is done, simply dump out the water and leave in the covered pan, it will give you more time to finish the rest of your meal while they remain warm.
Done, great as is, or with salt and vegan margarine.
