This is a super yummy dish.  Even the kids ate it!

Here’s how it all goes together.

• Roast your brocoli – I used frozen, so had to par-boil it first.
• Lay it out on an oven tray with 5-6 cloves of garlic

• Spray with olive oil
• Put it in the oven at 400 degrees.

While that’s cooking, cook the pecans.

• Take 3 TBSP butter and melt it in a small skillet.
• Add 1/2 cup pecans to the melted butter

• Add 1 heaping TSP salt to the pecans – add more or less to taste
• Fry until the pecans are soft and just barely start to turn color
• Take them off the heat, but leave in the skillet, still occasionally stirring – I also chopped mine up with the spoon once they got soft enough

When the brocoli and garlic is done, 15-20 minutes in the oven, chop the garlic into mushy goodness and drop both into a bowl.  Add:

• 1-2 TBSP of lemon juice
• 1 TBSP of mayonaise
• Cooled Pecans

The lemon/garlic/butter/salt makes a savory contrast with the sweet of the pecans and brocoli.  Serve!  Yum!!!
