My ‘Broccoli Rice’ is not minced Broccoli. Broccoli is cooked with Rice, and with Butter. When my son was a young child, I did all sort of tricks to make him eat veggies. One trick was mixing veggies with his favourite food. He loved rice. So I often cooked rice with finely chopped up or grated veggies. ‘Carrot Rice’ is an example. And this ‘Broccoli Rice’ is really yummy, too.
