Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 100 milliliters white wine
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli by rinsing it thoroughly under cold water and cutting the florets into bite-sized pieces. Peel the stems if desired and slice them thinly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the red pepper flakes and stir for 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the broccoli to the pan. Toss to coat the broccoli evenly with the garlic and oil mixture.
Pour in the white wine and stir to combine. Cover the pan with a lid, letting the broccoli steam for 4-5 minutes, or until just tender but still bright green.
Remove the lid and season the broccoli with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Toss gently to combine.
Remove from heat and transfer the broccoli to a serving plate. Serve warm as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
