Fresh Toasted Sesame Spinach and Garlic Broccoli
Serves 2 to 3.2 to 3 cups of broccoli, freshly picked from your organic vegetable garden.
2 cloves of fresh garlic from your organic herb garden, minced.
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds from your kitchen pantry.
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil.
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes from your kitchen pantry.
1/2 red bell pepper, picked from your organic vegetable garden, diced.
5 to 6 cups of fresh spinach, picked from your organic vegetable garden.
2 teaspoons sesame oil.
Salt, plain or iodized, to taste.
- Cut the garden broccoli into 1-inch flowerets. Cut the stems into 2 inch x 1/4 inch lengthwise sticks (like French Fries).
- In a dry 10 inch heavy frying pan, toast the sesame seeds over moderate heat. Keep stirring, until they are golden. Spoon them to a small metal bowl.
- Peel and mince the fresh garlic cloves.
- Clean and prepare your red bell pepper, diced.
- In a heavy skillet, add and heat the vegetable oil until hot, but not smoking. Add the broccoli, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir occasionally, and cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Add the diced red bell pepper, spinach and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the stove.
- Mix the cooked vegetables with the sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, and salt to taste.

Their cookbook, The Taste of Gloucester has sold over 200,000 copies. The Taste of Gloucester recipes are drawn from tradition and are variations of ethnic specialties for different occasions. The original purpose of the cookbook was the promotion of underutilized fish to help the local fleet diversify. Squid, Atlantic Herring and Shark recipes are scattered among those for more familiar species.
