Sautéed Broccoli with Sunflower Seeds
I was thinking about making my Sesame Garlic Broccoli when (gasp!) I discovered not a sesame seed in the house. I tossed in sunflower seeds and red pepper flakes and called it good. And it was! Here it is in it’s easy-peasy glory. I liked using coconut oil with this as it gave a buttery flavor that really enhanced the dish. Enjoy!
