2 tablespoons olive oil (light is best)
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 lbs broccoli

  • Dry to remove any excess water.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil until hot.
  • Add the garlic and pepper flakes.
  • Sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the broccoli and "some" of the broth. (I say "some" as you don't want it soaking in it, you just want it to help steam and add flavor)

  • As everyone has their own tastes, increase or decrease the garlic and or pepper flakes as desired.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large bunch broccoli, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce, (recommended: sriracha) or to taste

Steps:

  • Put a pot of water on to boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
  • Cut the broccoli into florets. When the water is boiling, add the broccoli. Cook for 30 seconds. Immediately drain and add them to the bowl of ice water. When cool, drain well.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When it is warm, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until toasted, do not let it burn. Add the broccoli, toss to coat with the oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken stock and hot chili sauce, raise the heat to high, and cook until the broccoli is just tender, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately with grilled shrimp, if using.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 bunches broccoli rabe, trimmed
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat; season generously with salt. Blanch broccoli rabe until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook until lightly golden. Add blanched broccoli rabe; season with red-pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; toss to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a better texture and flavor than frozen broccoli.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the broccoli will steam instead of sauté.
  • Use a high heat: This will help the broccoli get a nice sear.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli is mushy and bland.
  • Season the broccoli to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices that you like.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Sautéed broccoli is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Spicy sautéed broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
