Onion gives the broccoli a wonderful boost of  flavor! 

• 1 pound of frozen broccoli flowerettes
• 1/2 medium onion

Cook the broccoli in boiling water (as directed on the package), but add the onion to the pot while cooking. When cooked, discard the onion, drain the brocolli, and add enough butter, salt, and pepper for all the flavors to pop. Simply delicious!
