Wash and trim the broccoli. Use the
florets and about 1 inch of the stems. Cut the florets
into 1-inch pieces, and the stems into 1/2-inch slices.
In a 10-inch round microwavable baking dish or glass
pie plate, arrange the florets in the center with the
stems around the outside. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. water.
Cover tightly with vented plastic wrap and microwave
on high for 5 minutes, or until very crisp. Let stand,
covered for 3 minutes. Uncover and drizzle with oil.
Sprinkle the pepper, leeks, and thyme over the top.
Re-cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high
for 1 minute. Let stand, covered, for 3 minutes. Sprinkle
with cheese and serve. Makes 4 servings.
