SAUTéED BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC AND CHILE



Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic and Chile image

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.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound broccoli, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long florets, stems sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, sliced
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender broccolini with vibrant green color and no signs of wilting.
  • Trim the tough ends of the broccolini and cut into 2-3 inch florets.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to ensure even cooking and prevent overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat to create a nice sear on the broccolini.
  • Add the broccolini and cook, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve immediately as a side dish or as part of a main course.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use a combination of olive oil and butter.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Top with grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled feta cheese, or toasted almonds for extra flavor and texture.
