Garlic Broccoli

 

Ingredients

1-2 florets of broccoli

2-4 large cloves garlic

olive oil

salt (to taste)

pepper (to taste)

 

Directions:

 

Take a normal-sized pot and fill it with water. Place it on the stove

and turn on the flames. Take your broccoli and cut it into smaller

florets. When the water is steadily boiling, quickly drop the broccoli

in. Let it boil for about 30 seconds, then turn off the heat. Leave the

broccoli in the hot (but NOT boiling anymore) water for about 5 to 10

minutes until it is almost cooked enough to eat but still a little

crunchy. Make sure to push the tops of the broccoli in occasionally so

it all cooks evenly. After it's finished, drain the water out.

 

Place a large pan on the stove and put enough olive oil to thinly coat

the bottom. Crush your garlic (I like a lot, but 2 should suffice if

you're not as big of a fan). Place the crushed garlic into the oil and

turn on the heat. Stir olive oil and garlic for about 2-3 minutes until

the whole skillet is hot, then add the broccoli. Saute the broccoli for

3 to 5 minutes, then plate.

 

This way of cooking broccoli leaves it still a little crisp and not

mushy. It makes a good side dish with pasta and the like :-)
