Broccolette?????

The other night for dinner I made chicken seasoned with Turmeric and a side of brown rice. Yum. It was really good and I had it with a salad.   Of course, there were leftovers...

The next day I went to Whole Foods for some stuff and found cute-little-broccoli-type-thingy's in the produce department. They were labeled as Broccolette. According to Earthboud Farm Organic, who grows these Broccolettes, they are a hybrid between broccoli and gai lan,which apparently is Chinese kale. They did not look too complicated and they kind of called out to me so I picked them up and off we went.

Just now, I took the Broccolettes and cut them up small and sauteed them in olive oil and garlic. Once they were tender I added the leftover rice and the chicken which I had cut up and heated it all through. The garlic gave the leftover turmeric chicken a whole different flavor and the Broccolettes were amazing.

So if you find something you are not familiar with in the store, go ahead - pick it up and take it home. You may just thank yourself for it!
