An easy way to prepare broccoli that is much tastier than conventional steaming.
Pan Roasted Broccoli
Ingredients
4 Tbsp Water
1/4 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
1/2 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1.25 lb Broccoli, separated into small florets, and stems, sliced (about 5 cups florets and 3/4 cup stems in total)
2 Tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Optional
Swap Olive Oil for 1 Tbsp Oil + 1 Tbsp Butter
Swap Water for Dry White Wine
Instructions
Stir water, salt, and black pepper, and lemon juice together in a small bowl until the salt dissolves.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high then add the broccoli stems in an even layer.
Don’t stir for about two minutes until they get light browned.
Add the florets and toss to combine and don’t stir for another two minutes, until they just begin to brown. Also add the garlic.
Add water spice mixture and cover pan with lid, cooking for two minutes.
Add red pepper flakes.
Uncover and cook until desired doneness.
