Broccoli With Spicy Peanuts And Lime

The love of God can be a profound answer to just about any human struggle, but sometimes we can use it in such a way that it becomes a watered down version of profoundly rich truth. For example, sometimes, because of shortcomings in us rather than Scripture, this answer misses the call to “consider others better than yourselves” (Phil. 2:3), or it ignores personal repentance. Sometimes it still allows us and our needs to be at the center of the world, and God becomes our psychic errand boy given the task of inflating our self-esteem.

INGREDIENTS

1/2	lb	Broccoli
1		Clove garlic, minced
1/4	t	Red pepper flakes
1/4	t	Diet margarine
		Olive oil spray
2	t	Dry-roasted peanuts, finely
		crushed
1	t	Fresh lime juice, or to
		taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Separate broccoli into flowerets and stems; slice stems into 1/4"
pieces.  Steam broccoli for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it is
crisp-tender.  Meanwhile, in a small skillet, cook garlic with red
pepper flakes in  margarine and spray, stirring, over moderate heat,
until it is  golden, add the peanuts, the lime juice, and salt to
taste, cook the  mixture, stiring for 1 minutes. Transfer the broccoli
to a bowl, add  the peanut mixture, toss the broccoli to coat it.
Serves 2. [54 cals,  2g fat]  PatsNotes: * Steam the broccoli with a
small piece of lime peel, zest  only.  Optional: a little fresh
gingerroot, minced, and cooked with the  garlic. I can't believe it's
not butter spray or olive oil spray.  The original had lots of butter.
