Broccoli with Garlic
Print This Recipe
When sautéing the garlic, be careful not to overbrown it, as this will make the dish bitter.
INGREDIENTS
1 head broccoli, about 1-1/2 pounds
1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepperBring a large pot of water to boiling over high heat.
Peel the broccoli stems. Cut the stems lengthwise into long, thin strips so each has a floweret or two at the top. Drop them into the boiling water. Cook for 3 minutes, or just until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain the broccoli.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly golden. Add the broccoli and toss until it is coated and hot. Sprinkle with the salt and the pepper, to taste.
