Came up with this version of Broccoli rice recently. Stir fry, minimalistic, and as others found it, delicious.
One cup of boiled rice
About 8-10 florets of broccoli depending upon their size
1/5 th cup white shallots
1 1/2 tsp chilly flakes
1 1/2 tsp crushed white pepper
1/2 tsp garlic paste, freshly ground
Olive oil for cooking
Salt to taste
Finely slice shallots, remove broccoli stems and finely chop florets. I boiled the stems separately and minced them to add to the rice.
As goes the usual sequence the olive oil is to be heated, garlic paste added, burn it a bit at this stage and keep aside. Now add the onions, they will take long to turn pink or not turn pink at all assuming they are white shallots. So let them fry for about two minutes, then add broccoli, let fry for a couple minutes, add the rice. Add in the salt, chilly flakes and pepper and the burnt garlic. Mix well and you're done.
The broccoli lends distinct taste to the dish but the magic ingredient is the white pepper. Taste the dish before adding pepper and find out for yourself. I had thought of adding some lemon juice but believe me it is not needed.
