Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 bunch broccoli (5-6 cups, florets and stems, cut in 2 inch chunks)
  • 3 tablespoons olive or another vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, more or less to taste)

Instruction

  • In a small bowl combine water, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper until salt dissolves. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, with a lid, over medium to medium high heat, place oil and heat until oil shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances.
  • Add broccoli stems and in an even layer cook, until browned on their surface, between 2 and 3 minutes
  • Next add florets to your skillet and stir until combined.
  • Allow florets to brown as well. About 2 to 3 more minutes.
  • Add water mixture and cover.
  • Cook until broccoli starts to become bright green but is still slightly hard, about 2 more minutes.
  • Uncover and continue to cook until all or almost all of the water has evaporated.
  • Broccoli stems and florets should be tender, about 2 minutes more.
  • Serve and enjoy!
