Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry. Set aside.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the stems and seeds.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, sprinkle with the salt, and toss to coat in the garlic oil.
Pour the water into the skillet, cover with a lid, and let the broccoli steam for 3 minutes to soften slightly.
Remove the lid, add the sliced bell peppers, and stir everything together.
Cook uncovered for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with black pepper. Toss to combine.
Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
