Broccoli and Sweet Pepper Stir-fry

This Broccoli and Sweet Pepper Stir-fry is a Farmers Market recipe favorite.

Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli (1 lb )

1 sweet green pepper

1 sweet yellow pepper

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 onion (chopped)

1⁄4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (fat-free)

2 teaspoons lite soy sauce

Instructions

Wash hands and assemble clean equipment. Peel tough broccoli stems. Cut stems and broccoli florets into pieces about 1 1/2 inches long. Blanch in a large pot of boiling water for two to three minutes or until bright green and tender-crisp; drain, cool under cold running water and dry. De-seed peppers and cut into thin strips.

In large, heavy skillet or wok, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; stir-fry for one minute. Add peppers and stir-fry for two to three minutes, adding chicken stock when necessary to prevent sticking or scorching. Add broccoli; stir-fry until heated through; sprinkle with soy sauce. Serve immediately.

Optional: add a protein like tofu or cooked chicken.
