Notes

• Bicarbonate of soda will help the broccoli to cook fast and retain their color
• Make sure to add just a little amount and don't over sautee the broccoli, otherwise, they will lose their texture and become too soft
• I use the bicarbonate in powder form
• If you end up with some chili leftovers, just store them in a closed container in the fridge up to 4 days.
