  *Cooks Notes: If you like raw broccoli, then make sure it's cut small enough for easy chewing. If you like tender crisp broccoli you can add the broccoli to boiling water and as soon as it starts to boil again, drain it and shock broccoli in ice water. Frozen broccoli florets also work well if you blanch them until coming back to a boil then shocking with ice water. Use a good name brand for the best quality broccoli.
