ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Method
Step 1
Once the broccoli has been steamed (don’t overcook!), separate the florets from the stem and chop the florets into bite-sized pieces. I save the stem and thinly slice the cooked broccoli stem and sauté separately.
Step 2
Add the chopped broccoli florets to a non-stick, non-toxic skillet or cast iron skillet along with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Toss well to distribute ingredients using a wooden spoon or tongs. Saute over low to medium heat for five minutes to allow the garlic to become fragrant and infuse the broccoli with flavor. Toss throughout so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Step 3
Serve immediately as a side by itself or pair with quinoa, orzo, pasta or rice. Store leftover broccoli once fully cooled to room temperature in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
