Broccoli with Garlic and Chilli

 

 

800 g (28 oz) broccoli, cut into small florets

2 tablespoons (8 tsp) olive oil

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes

 

 

1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add

broccoli. Cook for 3 minutes or until bright green and just tender

(see shortcut). Drain well.

 

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok over low

heat. Add garlic and chilli. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until

aromatic. Increase heat to medium. Add broccoli. Toss until well

coated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

 

 

 

SHORTCUT: Cut a cross in the base of each broccoli floret. Wash and

place, with water clinging, in a snap-lock bag. Microwave on HIGH

(100%) for 5 to 6 minutes or until just tender.
