Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 cups broccoli florets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 pound green beans
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more if desired
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. Have ready a large bowl of ice water. Place broccoli into pot and cook for two minutes. You just want to parboil the broccoli at this point since you will saute it later on. Using a spider strainer, remove broccoli from pot and shock it in a bowl of ice water. When broccoli is completely cool, place it in a colander and allow to drain. Refresh the bowl of ice water. Bring the water back to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 4 minutes. Like the broccoli, you just want to parboil the green beans. Remove green beans from pot with spider strainer and add to ice water. When green beans are completely cool, add them to the colander and allow to drain.
  • In a large saute pan, heat olive oil. When almost smoking, add the garlic and saute for about 45 seconds. When the garlic starts to brown, remove immediately and discard. Overcooking the garlic will impart a very bitter taste to the dish. Add the red pepper flakes, broccoli and green beans to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips for Perfect Sautéed Green Beans and Broccoli:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans and broccoli. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Broccoli should have tightly closed florets and no signs of yellowing.
  • Trim the green beans and broccoli. Cut off the ends of the green beans and any tough stems. Cut the broccoli into florets, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached.
  • Blanch the vegetables. This step is optional, but it helps to preserve the color and crispness of the vegetables. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and broccoli and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the vegetables and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  • Add the green beans and broccoli to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned.
  • Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute.
  • Serve immediately. Sautéed green beans and broccoli are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses.
