BROCCOLI OR CAULIFLOWER WITH GARLIC AND LEMON, TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Plunge the vegetable into the boiling water and cook until fairly tender, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water or run under cold water. Drain again.
• Put 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is golden, about 3 minutes. Add the drained vegetable and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring only when necessary-you don't want the broccoli to fall apart-until the vegetable begins to brown; add the lemon zest and cook for another minute or two.
• Add the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Alternative method
• Skip step 1. In step 2, start with 1/4 cup olive oil (and, if you like, add a dried chile). Thirty seconds after adding the garlic, add the broccoli or cauliflower and 1/4 cup water. Cover the pan. Cook, uncovering and stirring occasionally, until the vegetable is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve.

GARLICKY SAUTEED BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the broccoli and cauliflower in a single layer, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, undisturbed, until the undersides are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until browned all over and crispy and tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Reduce the heat to medium and push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the empty side and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Mix the garlic into the vegetables and add a large splash (about 3 tablespoons) of water. Squeeze in half a lemon, if using. Cook, stirring, until the juices have evaporated.

EASY LEMON AND GARLIC BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Place broccoli florets in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir 2 teaspoons lemon juice into water in a small bowl and pour the mixture into the skillet. Cover and steam until broccoli is bright green and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While broccoli is steaming, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and stir in garlic and salt; turn heat to low and let the garlic gently fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Drain water from cooked broccoli and return to skillet; sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons lemon juice and the butter and garlic mixture. Sprinkle broccoli with black pepper, toss to combine, and season with a bit more pepper if desired.

ROASTED GARLIC LEMON BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, pepper and garlic. Spread the broccoli out in an even layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until florets are tender enough to pierce the stems with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze lemon juice liberally over the broccoli before serving for a refreshing, tangy finish.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, BROCCOLI, AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place cauliflower and broccoli into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish, toss with the about 2 Tbsp of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
• Cut a bit of the top and sides off the unpeeled whole garlic head, exposing as many of the cloves as possible.
• Tuck the garlic head into one corner of the same pan and drizzle the head with the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil (I also pick out any slivers of garlic from the parts I trimmed off and toss them into the pan with the veggies).
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1/2 hour.
• Remove the cover, stir just the florets and cook for 30 minutes more, until vegetables are tender and nicely browned (yes, the broccoli will be a very dark green).
• Meanwhile, slice baguette bread into thin bias-cut ovals.
• Toast in a toaster oven until lightly toasted (to your liking).
• When the veggies are ready, serve the florets in a serving dish, and place the garlic head onto a plate surrounded by your toasted bread ovals; remove some of the garlic using a butter knife and spread on slices as a paste.
