I'm stuck at home sick today, so I thought it might be good to cook up something healthy, as I can probably do with the vitamins.
The ingredients:
Broccoli (chopped into large chunks, about 2 cups)
bacon (low fat), (about 50g), chopped.
toasted almonds (approx half cup)
dash of olive oil
pinch of salt
To prepare:
If you don't have toasted almonds, then put some raw almonds on a non-stick tray in the oven (at 150 degrees C) for about 15 minutes. open the oven and shake the pan around a bit every 5 minutes.
Put a large pot of water on to boil, with a pinch of salt.
In a second saucepan, heat the dash of olive oil 'till it is just starting to run more freely, then add the bacon. Cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add the almonds and continue to cook until heated through.
When the water in the first pot is boiling, add the broccoli. Allow the water to return to the boil, then drain the broccoli (should be just cooked, but still a bit crunchy).
Put the broccoli in a large bowl, mix in the bacon and almonds and serve.
Very tasty (even if my sense of smell is a bit below par right now).
