Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Broccoli

    Rinse the head of broccoli under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.

  2. 2

    Cut the Broccoli

    Using a sharp knife, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, including some of the tender stem.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 6

    Add Broccoli

    Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir to coat them in the oil and garlic.

  4. 7

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the broccoli to taste. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.

  5. 8

    Finish with Lemon
