Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 bunches broccoli rabe, chopped into medium pieces
1 small shallot, sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 lemon
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, to flavor the oil. Carefully remove the garlic using a slotted spoon, and reserve. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan in batches; it will crowd the pan at first but will wilt quickly. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the reserved garlic.
  • When the broccoli rabe has wilted, about 3 minutes, add the shallot, the sliced garlic, and the pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the shallot has softened and the broccoli rabe is cooked through but still has some bite, another 2 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.

SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE



Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic and Chile image

This speedy, two-step recipe yields broccoli - or practically any vegetable - that is perfectly browned and cooked all the way through. After florets and thinly sliced stems are seared, add a little water and cover so the broccoli steams in its own juices until fork-tender. Not only does this bring out the vegetable's inherent sweetness, but it softens whatever flavorings you add without burning them. This recipe embraces the prickly heat of chile and garlic, but you could also use ground spices, thyme or rosemary, ginger or scallions, capers or olives. Swap the broccoli for sliced carrots or sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, broccoli rabe, or green beans, adjusting cook time and water as necessary.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound broccoli, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long florets, stems sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, sliced
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh baby broccoli: Look for broccoli that is bright green and has tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Prep the broccoli: Trim the tough ends of the broccoli stalks and cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets. Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and drain them well.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the broccoli to cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the broccoli and give it a nice brown color.
  • Add the broccoli to the skillet: Spread the broccoli florets in a single layer in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the skillet or the broccoli will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the broccoli for 3-4 minutes: Stir the broccoli occasionally so that it cooks evenly. The broccoli should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
  • Add the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Season the broccoli: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Serve the broccoli: Serve the sautéed garlic baby broccoli immediately as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed garlic baby broccoli is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use fresh baby broccoli and can be served as a side dish or main course. With its simple ingredients and delicious taste, sautéed garlic baby broccoli is a surefire hit with everyone at the table.
