- Trim off all leaves that are not required or liked, and place the broeoli in a pan of salted water to kill any insects, &c., that may have taken shelter under the stalks.
- Wash them well, and put them into an uncovered saucepan of boiling water, with a large table-spoonful of salt to every half gallon of water.
- Keep them boiling till done, which will be in about ten or fifteen minutes, according to size.
- Drain them directly they are done, or they will lose colour and become sodden.
