SESAME BROCCOLI, REALLY..IT'S GOOD!
The dish is a nice and easy change from the norm, and quite different from some of the other broccoli recipes I have seen here. Try it, you might like it as much as we do! Due to a great suggestion from a reviewer, I have added toasting the sesame seeds, a marvelous idea! Also, PLEASE don't substitute the sesame oil as one review did here, you loose the entire flavor of this great dish! This is an adopted recipe and the above comments were made before I inherited it. Now having made this dish, I can concurr: it's a sesame oil that turns your head and gets your taste buds going in this recipe, and toasting the seeds also adds fuller flavour. I'm delighted to have adopted this recipe and will be making it often:) I hope that you will enjoy it too!

SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH TOASTED GARLIC, ORANGE AND SESAME
Broccoli was kicked around for years before anyone decided to have fun with it. For a while broccoli lay spent and lifeless, then went irritably crisp. This recipe advances at high speed with admirable results. I toasted garlic slivers in olive oil until sweet and nutty, added oyster sauce to round the edges, then a rustle of sesame seeds and a wisp of orange to pull the whole thing into focus.

Steps:
- Rinse broccoli. Cut off thick stem where it meets slender stalks, and reserve. With sharp paring knife separate stalks into florets, leaving stems about 1 1/2 inches long on each. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat-side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two and repeat until you have 3-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about 1/2-inch) top to bottom. Peel tough skin from stems, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch medallions. There should be 12 ounces of broccoli, about 7 cups. Set aside.
- Toast sesame seeds in large nonstick skillet over low heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside.
- Place olive oil and garlic in skillet over low heat. Toast garlic, stirring frequently, until garlic is deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add pepper flakes to hot oil, and stir. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside. Toss broccoli, salt and 1/4 cup water in same skillet, cover and set over high heat. Cook until broccoli is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 4 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Stir in garlic and oil, oyster sauce and orange peel. Transfer to warm serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH GARLIC AND SESAME
This salad is made from uncooked broccoli tossed with an assertive garlic, sesame, chile and cumin-seed vinaigrette slicked with good extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. The acid "cooks" the florets a little as ceviche does fish. After an hour, the broccoli softens as if blanched, turning bright emerald, and soaking up all the intense flavors of the dressing. You'll be making this one again.
