SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE
This speedy, two-step recipe yields broccoli - or practically any vegetable - that is perfectly browned and cooked all the way through. After florets and thinly sliced stems are seared, add a little water and cover so the broccoli steams in its own juices until fork-tender. Not only does this bring out the vegetable's inherent sweetness, but it softens whatever flavorings you add without burning them. This recipe embraces the prickly heat of chile and garlic, but you could also use ground spices, thyme or rosemary, ginger or scallions, capers or olives. Swap the broccoli for sliced carrots or sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, broccoli rabe, or green beans, adjusting cook time and water as necessary.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add the broccoli stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the florets, season generously with salt and pepper, and shake into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is fragrant, less than 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons water, cover, and cook until the broccoli is bright green and fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes, reducing heat if needed to prevent burning. Season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes.
SAUTEED BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER AND MUSHROOMS
I have always prepared broccoli this way. Even my kids loved it when they were small. The flavors are just magnificent together! The key is to keep heat high so the vegetables brown while remaining somewhat crisp.

Steps:
- Mix cut-up broccoli and cauliflower, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let stand an hour, if possible.
- Heat oil in a large saute or fry pan until very hot.
- Add vegetables all at once, spreading in an even layer. Do not stir until bottom of layer begins to brown.
- Flip and stir to get unbrowned pieces to bottom. Let cook until beginning to brown.
- The trick here is to keep heat high and brown pieces without overcooking or burning them. If pieces are browned, but not soft enough for your taste, turn off heat and cover pan for a few minutes.

Yield Serves 8
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Trim broccoli, reserving stems for another use, and cut flowerets into 1-inch pieces. (There should be about 5 cups.)
- Trim cauliflower and cut flowerets into 1-inch pieces. (There should be about 5 cups.)
- In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook vegetables until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. In a colander drain vegetables and refresh under cold water to stop cooking. Drain vegetables well. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- In a large heavy skillet heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat until foam begins to subside and sauté bread crumbs, stirring, until golden. Stir in horseradish and salt to taste and sauté, stirring, until crisp. Bread crumbs may be prepared 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In skillet melt remaining tablespoon butter over moderate heat and in it toss vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle vegetables with bread crumbs and toss to combine. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and bake, uncovered, 10 minutes, or until just heated through.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli and cauliflower: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed and cauliflower heads that are white and firm.
- Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much broccoli and cauliflower to the pan, they will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the broccoli and cauliflower over medium-high heat: This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Season the broccoli and cauliflower with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the broccoli and cauliflower immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Sautéed broccoli and cauliflower is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
