Let’s get cooking
- 01
Prepare the florets
Wash broccoli and cut into similar-size florets. Peel and slice thick stems.
- 02
Blanch briefly
Boil a saucepan of water. Cook broccoli for 2–3 minutes until just tender; drain well.
- 03
Warm the garlic
Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and stir about 20 seconds until fragrant, without browning.
- 04
Toss and finish
Add broccoli, salt, and measured water. Toss for 1–2 minutes until stems are tender and the pan is nearly dry.
A little kitchen wisdom
Do not discard tender stems: peel the tough skin and slice thinly.
