"There he got out the luncheon-basket and packed a simple meal, in which, remembering the stranger's origin and preferences, he took care to include a yard of long French bread, a sausage out of which the garlic sang, some cheese which lay down and cried, and a long-necked straw-covered flask wherein lay bottled sunshine shed and garnered on far Southern slopes."
-Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

1 large bunch broccoli
1 quart water
2 tsp sesame oil

4 cloves roasted garlic
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Cut the broccoli into small flowerets about the size of an walnut.

Trim the tough edges of the large stem from the broccoli to expose the tender center. Cut the center into cubes.

Put the cubed stems in the steamer and then the flowerets. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Steam for 8 minutes.

Remove the broccoli from the pan and rinse under cold water. Set aside to drain.

Rinse out the steamer pan and dry.

Place the oil in the pan over medium high heat. Add the ginger and cook gently for about 4 minutes. Do not let the ginger get too hot - just simmer gently.

Place the garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and pepper in the pan and swirl. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Remove and let cool.

Place the steamed broccoli in a bowl. Add the sesame dressing, sesame seeds and green onion.

Toss until well coated and chill.
