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 the freshest baby broccoli: Look for broccoli that is deep green in color and has tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has wilted florets.
  • Wash the baby broccoli thoroughly: Rinse the broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the baby broccoli into bite-sized pieces: This will help the broccoli cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the broccoli plenty of room to cook and prevent it from steaming.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the broccoli sear and develop a nice color.
  • Add the baby broccoli to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is tender-crisp: This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Season the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as red pepper flakes or lemon zest.
  • Serve the sautéed garlic baby broccoli immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot.
