A Recipe for Sour Broccoli
I do not know the history of this recipe. It was submitted to the cookbook of international recipes by a lady named Alice Metry. The ethnicity of Ms. Metry's recipes is not noted, but the dish is clearly Middle Eastern in origin.
I found this sour broccoli recipe in the cookbook of St. Michael Orthodox Church in Louisville, Kentucky, published in 1991.

Five-Star Food Processor

Braun Multiquick 3 K650 Kitchen Machine 600 Watt
Read the reviews! 90 out of 107 give this food processor 5 starts, and the rest give it 4 stars...usually because something they wanted was not included among the 8 attachments. The price is competitive too! I don't think you can beat this appliance if you are looking for a new food processor and feel very confident in recommending it to my readers.

- So I read this but was surprised to see the ingredients. Is the lemon the primary contributor to it being "sour broccoli"? I may try this but without doing the blender step and using ground organic garlic powder instead - be interesting to see if it still comes out w/same flavor?

- I do like a little dressing like a honey-mustard on my broccoli so this might suit me fine.
