Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    Wash the broccoli under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut the florets from the stem, and chop the stem into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Broccoli

    Add the broccoli florets and chopped stems to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and oil mixture.

  4. 6

    Season and Cover

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.

  5. 7

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the lid and drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the sautéed broccoli to a serving dish and enjoy while warm.
