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.

- Add the broccoli, salt and pepper and toss with the olive oil and garlic until the broccoli turns bright green and becomes tender.

Tips
- Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli: Look for florets that are deep green in color and tightly closed. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the broccoli will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the broccoli over medium-high heat: This will help it develop a nice sear and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Stir the broccoli frequently: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Add the garlic and chili pepper towards the end of cooking: This will help prevent them from burning.
- Season the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as lemon zest, red pepper flakes, or grated Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion
Sautéed broccoli with garlic and chili is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a delicious way to add some flavor to your plate.
