Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (about 1 pound) broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cups dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim the broccoli and cut it into small florets. Peel the stem and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the garlic cloves thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the broccoli florets and stems to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic-infused oil.
Pour in the white wine and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the broccoli steam for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still has a slight crunch.
Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the liquid to reduce slightly.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir to combine.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy it on its own!
