Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh broccoli
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water and fit a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat.
Place the broccoli florets in the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is vibrant green and tender-crisp.
While the broccoli is steaming, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, water, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Remove the steamed broccoli from the pot and transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the balsamic sauce over the broccoli, ensuring even coverage, and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light vegetable course.
