Caramelized Broccoli With Garlic image

Found this in Food & Wine Magazine, 10/07 edition. It is fast, healthy, vegetarian, and delicious! I enjoyed preparing it, as well as eating it! The broccoli is slowly caramelized to bring out its sweetness, then enlivened with a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of crushed red pepper and some toasted cashews :) .Update: 11/07/2008 it has been suggested by a few who have reviewed the recipe that they would increase the amount of garlic, so maybe it would make for a nice change!! ;)

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 lbs broccoli, stems peeled and heads halved lengthwise
1/2 cup water
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (use more those of you that want a lot of garlic)
2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes
salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (not the bottled kind)
toasted cashews, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • Add the broccoli, cut side down, cover and cook over moderate heat until richly browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the water, cover and cook until the broccoli is just tender and the water has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the garlic and the crushed red pepper and cook uncovered until the garlic is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper, drizzle with the lemon juice, toasted cashews and serve.

This is a great recipe for meal prep. I usually make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover broccoli. I usually have some leftover from making stir-fries or salads, and this is a great way to use it up.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy side dish. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.
