OK, peeps.....I see we let our Iron Chef weekly threads fall to the wayside, and now that fall is upon us, I bet a lot more of us will be back in the kitchen since it's cool enough to be slaving over pots and casseroles and all manner of comfort foods. 
I've been craving broccoli lately and am dying to find some new things to do with it. Turn your creativity loose and share your favorite recipes! 
For our newer foodie friends, we were doing this every week as a takeoff on the Food Channel Iron Chef show. Each week we pick a new ingredient and everyone has to either share a favorite recipe using it, or if you have time, make one up, try it and share. If you have suggestions for future week's ingredients, please feel free to start a thread at the beginning of any week. 
Past ingredients we have already done include: pears, winter squash, quinoa and peaches, and there are great recipe ideas in each of those threads. 
So, let's get cooking. In the words of our chairman: 
ALLEZ CUISINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2-4 cloves garlic, minced (use garlic to preference) 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets 
1/4 cup olive oil 
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 
1.5 tablespoon Dijon mustard 
In a medium bowl, mix garlic, salt, olive oil, vinegar, and mustard. 
Add the broccoli, and stir to coat. 
Chill for 3 hours. 
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving, if desired. 
**You can use red wine vinegar instead of balsamic for a twist.
