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.

Provided by Ali Slagle

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.

1 cup chopped onion
1 cup julienned sweet red pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
12 cups fresh broccoli florets
1-1/3 cups water
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Wash the broccoli thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets. If the stems are tender, you can also cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will help to ensure that the broccoli is cooked evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: Before adding the broccoli, make sure that the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
  • Stir-fry the broccoli in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of broccoli, stir-fry it in batches to prevent overcrowding the skillet or wok.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: Stir-fry the broccoli for 3-5 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking the broccoli will make it mushy.
  • Season the broccoli to taste: Once the broccoli is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
