• VEGETARIAN

Ingredients

1. 2 tablespoons cooking oil
2. 2 onions, cut into thin slices
3. 3/4 teaspoon turmeric
4. 1 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 2 large stalks), stems peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, tops cut into florets (about 7 cups in all)
5. 1 cup drained canned diced tomatoes (from one 15-ounce can)
6. 1/3 cup water
7. 3/4 teaspoon salt

1. In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onions and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft, about 5 minutes longer.
2. Stir in the turmeric to coat the onions. Stir in the broccoli, tomatoes, water, and salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
