Vegetables

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Broccoli

    Rinse the head of broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, ensuring that the stem is also cut into smaller pieces for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Mince Garlic

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Broccoli

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the broccoli florets and stem pieces. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the broccoli. Continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the broccoli is tender but still crisp.

  3. 5

    Season and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli and season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure even coating before serving.
