Pan Seared Broccoli In Pineapple Coconut Sauce

Today my Holy Guardian Angel had me cooking another broccoli dish. This is a very simple recipe with just 4 ingredients. I recently went grocery shopping and decided to try out some different sauces. This recipe took a Carribean sauce and turned out quite nice. 

Ingredients:

• Broccoli
• Walnuts, chopped in pieces
• Grace's Pineapple Coconut Sensation Sauce 
• Virgin Coconut Oil 

1. My HGA instructed me to use some virgin coconut oil to cook the broccoli with. I pan fried it in an iron skillet browning it on the edges for about 15 minutes over medium heat while stirring occasionally. I cut the broccoli into larger florets. I cut it into 4 pieces.  
2. Next I added 4 tablespoons of walnut pieces to the frying pan and let it cook for another 5 minutes. 
3. Then I added 1/4 a bottle of Grace's Pineapple Coconut Sensation Sauce. I removed the pan from the heat and stirred in the sauce quickly. 

This recipe was very delicious and very simple. 

Thai Style Broccoli

I went out to dinner the other night at a Thai restaurant. Tonight I have decided to do a Thai influenced vegan dish. I got my inspiration from a restaurant right around the corner. I ordered something which was very delicious, but I made something different. I am working with what I have in my kitchen. 

I cut a head of broccoli up into medium sized florets. Then I let it cook in olive oil for 15 minutes over medium heat. After it had cooked for a while I stirred it. I then added half a can of coconut milk and a jar of pineapple tidbits with the juice left in. This was cooked for 5 minutes on low heat. 

I turned up the heat again to high and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Midway through I added 4 mushrooms and 3 tablespoons of honey. Honey is considered vegan by some and not by others. I have not omitted honey form my diet, but do use other alternatives sometimes. Agave syrup is a good choice if you want a 100% vegan meal. I served this dish with dried coconut flakes sprinkled on top. 

Ingredients:

• Broccoli
• 4 mushrooms
• Half a can of coconut milk
• 1 can of pineapple tidbits with juice
• 3 tablespoons of honey
• Dried coconut flakes
