Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper (I used garlic pepper blend)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 lbs broccoli, separated into small florets, and stems, sliced (about 5 cups florets and 3/4 cup stems in total)

Steps:

  • Stir water, salt, and pepper together in small bowl, til 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.
  • Add water spice mixture and cover pan with lid, cooking for two minutes.
  • Uncover and cook until desired doneness.
  • Note: I eyeballed my broccoli measurements and it worked fine. I did add a little water to mine.
