Broccoli Braised with White Wine
Print This Recipe
INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
5 to 6 cups fresh broccoli flowerets
1-1/2 cups dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepperIn a heavy 10 to 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil until a light haze forms over it. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the garlic in the hot oil for 30 seconds. Return to moderate heat and toss the broccoli flowerets in the oil until they glisten.
Add the wine, salt and a few grindings of pepper and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Then cover the skillet and simmer another 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
To serve, quickly transfer the flowerets with a slotted spoon to a heated bowl or platter. Briskly boil the liquid left in the skillet over high heat until it has reduced to about 1/2 cup and pour it over the broccoli.
