Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Wash the broccoli thoroughly under cold water. Cut the broccoli head into bite-sized florets. Trim the thick stem and slice it into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Broccoli

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 4

    Add the Broccoli

    Add the broccoli florets and sliced stems to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then stir to combine with the garlic.

  3. 5

    Cook the Broccoli

    Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green. If you prefer it softer, you can cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked broccoli. Toss gently to coat.
