Recipe - Broccoli With Spicy Peanuts And Lime

One half pound Broccoli
1 Clove garlic; minced
One fourth teaspoon Red pepper flakes
One fourth teaspoon Diet margarine
Olive oil spray
2 teaspoon Dryroasted peanuts; finely
crushed
1 teaspoon Fresh lime juice; or to
taste

Separate broccoli into flowerets and stems; slice stems into 1/4" pieces.

Steam broccoli for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it is crisptender. Meanwhile,
in a small skillet, cook garlic with red pepper flakes in margarine and
spray, stirring, over moderate heat, until it is golden, add the peanuts,
the lime juice, and salt to taste, cook the mixture, stiring for 1 minutes.
Transfer the broccoli to a bowl, add the peanut mixture, toss the broccoli
to coat it. Serves 2. [54 cals, 2g fat]

PatsNotes: * Steam the broccoli with a small piece of lime peel, zest only.

* Optional: a little fresh gingerroot, minced, and cooked with the garlic.

* I can't believe it's not butter spray or olive oil spray.

The original had lots of butter. MC / phannema@wizard.ucr.edu 09 Ap 97 to
