Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 medium bunch broccoli (about 1 1/4 lbs)

salt

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 medium garlic cloves -- minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

 

As long as you peel them, broccoli stalks are tender and delicious. Cut off and

discard the tough bottom portion, separate the broccoli into long spears and

peel the outer skin from each piece. This is an attractive way to serve

broccoli.

 

Bring several quarts water to a boil in a large saucepan. Trim all but the last

3 inches from the broccoli stalks. Break the broccoli into fairly large spears

and peel away the tough outer layer from the stalks. Add the broccoli and salt

to taste to the boiling water. Cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender, 4 to 5

minutes. Drain well. (The broccoli may be set aside for up to 1 hour.)

 

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and hot red

pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the

broccoli and stir to coat well with the flavored oil, cooking for 1 to 2

minutes. Add salt to taste and serve immediately.
