How to Make Diabetic Broccoli In Garlic Sauce

  1. Trim 1 large head of broccoli and cut into bite-sized florets.
  2. Rinse broccoli florets thoroughly and shake off excess water. Place in a 3-quart microwave-safe casserole dish.
  3. Set aside.
  4. Thinly slice 2 white scallions into rings and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the sliced scallions, minced garlic, 1/2 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon Splenda, and 1 tablespoon recaito or chopped cilantro.
  6. Pour the sauce evenly over the broccoli in the casserole dish. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap.
  7. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir gently.
  8. Cover and microwave on high for another 3-5 minutes, or until broccoli is tender-crisp and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
  9. Remove from microwave and stir in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!
