CARAMELIZED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC
Found this in Food & Wine Magazine, 10/07 edition. It is fast, healthy, vegetarian, and delicious! I enjoyed preparing it, as well as eating it! The broccoli is slowly caramelized to bring out its sweetness, then enlivened with a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of crushed red pepper and some toasted cashews :) .Update: 11/07/2008 it has been suggested by a few who have reviewed the recipe that they would increase the amount of garlic, so maybe it would make for a nice change!! ;)

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of cold salted water to a boil. Cut the florets off the broccoli stems and then trim any tough parts off the stems and thinly slice crosswise. Add the broccoli florets and stems to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Pat dry.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat; add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the garlic with a slotted spoon to a small bowl, leaving the olive oil behind.
- Add the broccoli to the skillet and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently to avoid breaking up the broccoli too much, until it?s crispy at the edges, about 5 minutes. Return the garlic to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

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.
