Browned Broccoli and Bok Choy

Baby bok choy from our garden elevated our usual broccoli side dish. This reminds me a bit of Japanese food. I ran out of ghee so I was cooking with butter, which is always a treat. It went great with baked salmon cooked in butter and cilantro, but would also be good with brown rice and lentil soup, or crispy tofu.

Ingredients:

1 T butter (or ghee, coconut oil, avo oil, or olive oil)

1 head broccoli, chopped into florets

pinch salt

1 head baby bok choy, chopped thin

1 tsp coconut aminos or tamari

juice of 1/2 lime or lemon

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degree. Heat a cast iron skillet or oven proof pan on medium heat and melt butter. Add broccoli and a pinch of salt and sauté until brown, about 5 minutes.

  • Place skillet into oven and roast for another 10 minutes so it’s tender but still green.

  • Place back on stove on medium heat and add bok choy. If it’s too dry add a bit more butter. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the bok choy wilts. Turn off heat and add coconut aminos and lime. Add another pinch of salt if needed (tamari is much saltier than coconut aminos).
