Keeping cooked broccoli warm

[wigeon]

Does anyone know how to keep broccoli recipes warm? I am talking about cooked broccoli recipes that have been stir fried or cooked without being in a casserole recipe.

You need to regulate the temperature to maintain quality, the health department likes 125° for holding. And ,try not to make recipes with acidic sauces because the longer the broccoli sits in the sauce the more it develops an ugly khaki color.

How long do you need to hold it?

Broccoli is one of those things that goes from great to terrible with just a few minutes of overcooking, so I'm not sure I'd recommend hot holding. Slightly undercook and reheat if necessary. I made the mistake of trying to keep some brussels sprouts warm on low heat while the rest of dinner cooked... they ended up in the compost. Awful.
