Steps:
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, add olive oil and garlic. Cook these for a minute, then add the broccoli florets. Pro tip - Make sure the florets are in a single layer so they cook evenly.
- Season with salt and black pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet and cook on low for 3 to 4 minutes. Pro tip - Covering the pan will keep the stem inside which helps soften the stalk making them tender.
- Check to ensure the stalks (stems) are tender. If not, cook uncovered for another 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and pine nuts (or other nuts).Pro tip - We do not cook broccoli covered for more than 4 minutes because it may lose its beautiful green color.
- Drizzle with lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning adding a pinch of salt and black pepper if necessary.

Tips:
- Choose fresh broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilting florets.
- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through.
- Blanch the broccoli before stir-frying: This will help to preserve its bright green color and crisp texture.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the broccoli plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Stir-fry the broccoli over high heat: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Add the garlic and cranberries towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from burning.
- Season the broccoli to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other seasonings to your liking.
- Serve the broccoli immediately: This is when it is at its best flavor and texture.
