About

Sometimes nothing but broccoli and cheese will do! This is one of those Americana-style recipes you’d find in a recipe box at a thrift store, only Granny didn’t use quite as much nutritional yeast. If you would rather use fresh broccoli, just steam it for five minutes first.

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped into medium dice
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves

Main course
Vegan

Method

Preheat a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion in the olive oil with a pinch of salt until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the broccoli, raise the heat a bit, and cook until the broccoli is thawed.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C
