Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Broccoli
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 60 g Cashews
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small, evenly sized florets. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and just golden, being careful not to burn it.
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and toss to coat it well in the garlic butter.
Sprinkle the cashews over the broccoli and stir gently to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the cashews and allow the flavors to meld.
Season the dish with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Drizzle lemon juice over the top and give it a final stir.
Serve immediately as a side dish. Enjoy the combination of tender broccoli, nutty cashews, and savory garlic butter.
