BROCCOLI LEAVES 
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 small onion
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups broccoli leaves
2 tsp. sugar
2 cloves garlic

Wash broccoli leaves and remove stem. Roll leaves and cut, when finished will appear like noodles. Add cut leaves and about 2 tablespoons olive oil to pan. Begin to cook on medium.

Dice onion small and add to pan with broccoli leaves. Add approximately 2 cloves minced garlic - more or less to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add sugar to taste (sugar helps to cut the bitterness of the leaves).

Stir frequently, until onions are translucent and leaves are tender/floppy. Serve hot.

So good and extremely healthy. Even my 2 year old daughter loved them!!

I really liked this. I Have never made broccoli leaves before, but have an abundance from my garden. However, this recipe made a very small amount, enough for one serving . I think next time I will double or triple the amount of leaves.

Broccoli really cooks down quickly. This recipe only made one small serving. Very good; more flavor than other greens. Would cut back on amount of olive oil and sugar.
